Artist Statement:
'Everything outside is inside
of me and I am totally outside
myself'
I am a radical
phenomenologist, a subjective
terrorist.
As an artist I try to study
perception and reality
critically, reality which we
seem to extract from our
perception. I believe that
creating borders eliminates
the bounds with other
constructions. I believe that
life and existence is
subjective and existential in
it`s most natural form, so I
have my doubts by 21st century
objectivism. By the word
objectivism I mean making
objects out of living or non
living 'things' by getting
knowledge about those 'things'
and separate these things from
others by this knowledge.
Philosopher Merleau-Ponty
said, we are not in or on the
world, but we are available at
the world, which means that we
are a creating connection,
this world we call our world
is only an interpretation
visualized by human words.
Words which we also invented
ourselves, so how true is this
daily reality described by our
words?
The process of creation starts
from a pre- scientific point
of view. Without certain
knowledge that separates one
aspect from the other. There
is no in between 'things'. The
product of creation is a
temporary, ambiguous...
