Since 2006 I have been working with a general idea arching over my projects: Conversations with Spaces, where I look at different ways of transforming spaces using light, projection, sound and motion: ephemeral media that creates temporary transformations of physical spaces which again influences how we experience these spaces.  I try to create works that resonates with a space, both physically and mentally.

Each person is an island in the sense that no-one can really know what is going in somebody else´s mind. However, we all experience the world through our bodies, the body is the link between our mind and the physical world. I aim to create work that is experienced through the body, emphasizing that perception is an active process, a constant negotiation between a mental image and feedback from our senses. Motion and sensation is linked in our senso-motoric nervous system. A physical motion translated to emotion.

I am interested in motion itself, how motion passes through spaces, objects, bodies and landscapes, partly inspired by a quote from the essay Motor Geometry by the Dutch architect Lars Spuybroek:
“We no longer look at objects, whether static or moving, but at movement as it passes through the object.”
Motion (through light,projection, sound or air) breathes life, animates and activates a space, and this stimulates our active perception, it sharpens our senses and intensifies the experience, and emphasizes our presence in an environment.

I am not particularly interested in the light source itself but in how light interacts with physical structures. Light is only visible as manifestations in materials through reflection, refraction and shadows. A shadow reveals something about the light source, the object that casts the shadow and the surface that catches the shadow. A moving shadow implies passage of time. By controlling the motion of a light source I have a way of influencing our subjective experience of time.
The duality between how light forms our perception of a physical structure and at the same time how that physical structure modulates the light.
