Bio

Close

I am an artist and writer. My films and videos, installations and texts are based on the experiences of marginal subjects. Political, ecological, cosmological, and technological themes come to the surface through the experiences of beings familiar to the peripheries, at the edge of the world.

I think of my moving-image practice as a cinema of invisibility, where I try to capture/disclose unseen yet hyper-present forces such as the internet, software, memory or changes that happened through long periods of time and that have become so obvious that their after-effects are almost untraceable.

My moving-image work has been screened internationally in film festivals and galleries such as IFFR, Go Short, Mostra Internazionale del Cinema di Genova, Bucharest International Film Festival, Eye Museum, W139, V2, Tent, The Grey Space in the Middle, Contemporar, and many others. My other published essays and talks were presented by Institute of Network Cultures, Perdu, Amsterdam; IFFR; Revista Arta, Bucharest and Design Academy Eindhoven.

Since 2024, in collaboration with Edwin Mingard, I have been working on a long-term project based in Unst, the most northerly point of the UK where a community of people are living around the development site of the UK’s first vertical launch spaceport.
