Summary:My work, for the last two years, was largely based on manipulation and interventions of everyday commodities, objets trouvés based on certain specific urban situations. These interactions lead to a series of works that to a certain extent can be called site-specific or site-referential and are manifested in video and the format of installation. From a schematic perspective there is a methodological pattern in my work that is based on the combination of two quasi-mundane entities strategically manipulated; their interaction creates a new meaning that is multivalent and often elusive.
