Description

In my work I explore the aesthetic codes of photography and use them to create new fictions. My paintings, based on found photographs and other archival source materials, dig into the collective memory of the European bourgeoisie. I use technical and stylistic means to distil a certain truth from the chosen subjects, addressing themes such as rituality, self-image and gender roles. I then display these works in the exhibition space by creating compositions, juxtaposing the images and forcing visual associations between them. By creating such constellations, I do not pretend to formulate closed narratives, but rather provide certain cues that might invoke one’s subconscious and lead each viewer to formulate their own interpretations. I believe that my art is one of unresolved questions.
