Blumau
Blumau is a hidden place in my life. I invert natural objects and flora from their delicate scale to expansive, sometimes menacing and mysterious landscapes – giving the viewer the sensation that one can be lost inside the image, engulfed by the scope of its details and sensations.
Dr. Zet
This series expands on concept of Nachtgärten, placing a human subject (Dr. Zet) and his objects and possession inside of and in contrast to, the natural surroundings and their implied sensuousness

Brücke
The absence of any actual bridge emphasizes the detail of the surrounding life – filling the images with a robustness, an otherworldly vibrancy that borders on the surreal.

Polariod I
With my polaroid series, I work with a variety of subjects – both urban and natural, individuals and objects – I strive to interpret subtle shifts in perspective, relational documentation, and how physical landscapes can transform into emotional ones, and vice versa. The arrangement of multiple images of a certain subject creates a narrative – my vision of how a particular moment feels as it passes, and how time can be embodied via stillness.

The mystery of
bombing a car
As part of the Toxic Dream installation series The Mystery of the Enchanted Cars, this installation featured a car with a red button that activated the inflation of two giant balloons. Visitors sat in the car, experiencing the growing claustrophobia, and mounting adrenaline as the pressure in the car grew towards the balloons’ explosion

wolkenspiel1
When the sky digs itself out of the earth, because it doesn‘t have enough room, spaces of joy and fear open up. For me the Wolkenspiel cycle is a filmic, playful, interactive exploration of space that is never what it is supposed to be.

Belgrad loop
The photos, interviews and atmo-sounds for the “The Belgrad Loop” where all recorded at the same time. Fragments of sounds, interviews and not hoped for moments close this never ending and never beginning moebius loop. Out of a seemingly random conglomeration of “Sound-Images” a controversial, poetic and intense portrait of Belgrad emerges. more

A stroll through the town triggers memories of a city that – due to the crack in its heart – will never be the same. This series of short poetical stories form a joyful, gloomy and bizarre portrait of Mostar.

more
Hundsprozesse
Based on Kafka’s Der Prozess, the audience is now the accused – they must build their cases, cruise through the wide grey halls, and endure the mounting paranoia of this systemized harvestation of guilt.
Hades Fraktur
Absorbed into the sweat and smoke of SIGNA’s interpretation of hell as a nightclub full of damned women, I was enrolled in an unusual game of stakes and nerve. The meaning of victory, however, was not to be assumed when at the mercy of Hades and Persephone’s desires.
more
Salo
Set in a crumbling villa in Copenhagen, SIGNA’s scathing and visceral interpretation of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s film Salò allowed me to be fully immersed in the meniacal world of libertanage twenty four hours a day, weaving in and out of the hierarchy of victims and their masters.

Das ehemalige Haus
In an abandoned house in Salzburg, this performance led us through the catastrophic end of a dismal family story and its haunting remains. The images retrace the footsteps of the house’s secrets, the family’s cycle of violence and victimhood, and their entrenchment in the underworld of trafficked girls.
more
Die Erscheinung der Martha Rubin
Rubytown was a functioning border settlement built by SIGNA, and populated by performers playing the descendants and cult worshippers of Martha Rubin – a fictional oracle, who has returned to the living. The dynamics and mysteries of the townspeople are recorded and preserved by the images and videos that testify to the installation’s expansive effect.
more
Seven Tales of Misery
Audience was directed through 43 rooms of a fictitious universe overseen by the austere Prince of Trauenstein, leader of a spiritual movement intended to free the world from its miseries.

toxicDreams
toxic dreams was founded 1997 by Kornelia Kilga and Yosi Wanunu. „Since 1997 we have been putting on shows that deal with the not knowing… shows that busy themselves with the slippery nature of reality… shows that refuse coherent, narrative, through lines… shows that celebrate the ambiguity of everyday’s life… shows that became more and more fragmented as time went by…“ toxicDreams
