I work with video performance and photography.

My video performance work is based on own manuscripts which forms the monolgues. I never sample material, manipulate or use existing image or texts.

In the video monologues I use a system of rules; for example the camera is to be still and portray without cuts, the background should be monochrome and I only use my own face and body.
Within this set of rules I use a mosaic of means in my attempt to understand how the voice creates meaning.

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.
