Solo shows + residencies


Nothing else but my body and the water


A little bit of each on the table


The edges are fraying


Saying I was silent, a space for isolated speech


And Saying I was silent, a space for isolated speech


A rug for the new school

in the same land



Fourth celebration


The good deal

The next door


The grey water glistens and the orange lacquer crosses it










My subjects are mundane,
barely noticeable realities in the uninterrupted flow of life. These simple gestures, these gentle obsessions that we adopt to cope with life, represent for me a strategy without ambition or long-term vision but yet essential to the pursuit of everyday life. Taking care, avoiding, hoping, reassuring, loving—these are what quietly keep us going and keep us close to others.

In this delicate balance between the insignificant and the essential, I use accumulation, reframing, and scaling to highlight the spectacle of banality and uphold the event as something that occurs without disrupting the course of things. Whether they simulate the ordinary or distract the attention, my devices come to life through the deliberate or fortuitous engagement of other people and form an integral part of the final work. Consequently, the stories I exhibit take various forms including videos, installations, performances, publications, meals, invitations to write or speak to me, or even workshops for making objects.
