The works that I create are oriented towards breaking the viewers’ illusion about reality as a linear/ homogeneous/ mutual phenomenon and offering them an experience of perceiving reality as something heterogeneous/ fragmented and ultimately non-existent (as a form of simulation in which anything is perceived as equally real). The motives that the works depict (usually elements of urban environments which are visually conflicted and symbolize various social, political and inner dichotomies) question the layers of reality in a metaphysical and symbolical aspect, and can be referenced with the technical process of creating a painter’s composition. By combining documentary realism of photography and video, I create a so called archive of (mental) images, which I later on deconstruct and turn into a collage together with fragments of memories about the same location/situation to, ultimately, synthesize it into a single mental landscape.
