The union for good citizenship
This installation depicts fragments of the installations made under the title 'The union for good citizenship'. It's a depiction of the artistic mind that constantly takes old objects and use it in new variations trying to create new contents. Soo it's a sort of retrospective exhibition on the basis of fragments that also can become something new in time.

Inside the cage there's the bronze woman.

Das frituur der anderen
"I played a drunk snackbar owner that looked harmless. By doing this I could infiltrate my art anywhere. underneed this harmless looking invironment there where eight microphones hidden that recorded everything back to the little shed. Afterwards I removed the microphones and put speakers in their place. Now you walk in an environment with sounds of its six mounths activity scrambled up to one surreal mass. There are billboards of the union for good citizenship pointing you on its presence."

This picture is very loaded with political information. I tried to make a child story of it starring Pik And Pol two concrete blocks on the road."
2013 wall projects"I would make custom build walls located in alleys I found during my strollings trough the city that I would make in google maps. As I recorded my walkabouts in the virtual world to find my location I would make the same walk in real life with my wall. he result is a video in split screen showing the two walks simultaniously and of course a wall mounted in The city center."
