I work with videoperformance and photography.

I work solely with myself and my own body.
The development of my artistic practice takes place in real time involving my bodily ageing and the ageing of my face.
My video performance work is based on own manuscripts which forms the monolgues. I never sample material, manipulate or use existing image or texts. Nothing in my work is accidental. It it calculated and strictly directed.

I come from a photographic background, and want to create "speaking photographs", using the videocamera as if it is a stillcamera with sound.
I investigate language through linguistic excercises, speech-acts and fonological experiments, focusing on the process of using speech and how words are delivered directly in the face of the viewer.
I investigate language not simply as a means of communication but also as a poetic and formal device.

I am the writer of the texts, the actor performing in both the videowork and photographs and the director of the camera.
