Statement
I?v always been interested in very direct contact with the public, intending to establish a special charismatic presence, fuse with them and finally take them over. I work in the fields of live art , cabaret , video installation and film. I see my work as a linear system of designated and highly self controlled situations in progression , through which I am passing , aiming to leave a permanent trace and bring my own standards. At last, my major intention is to constitute my body as an independent territory with full integrity and sovereignty, a territory with it?s own rules and own gravitation.
