I am an artist and director. Based on site-specific reserach and strong conceptual frameworks I create hyper-performances, video-installations and experimental narrative films.
Besides my artistic practice I have been working in cultural production for 15 years. I gained diverse experience in production of film, artprojects and festivals as well as in political communication and activist activities for NGOs and as an assistant in various cultural projects.
I hold an MFA from California Institute of the Arts, LA. After graduation I have relocated to Berlin where i live and work.
