“Press images, postcards, cinema, archaeology, packaging, comic books, urban planning, and mail-order catalogs generate the imagery targeted and revealed by the installations presented. These may be monumental or lightweight, lasting or ephemeral, improvised or constructed, but they are always made with the greatest economy of means.

The work is often conceived in response to the exhibition space. The history of the site, its architecture, and spatial volume are starting points for creating tailor-made stagings.

The notion of set design is key to the following questions:
How do images travel through time?
How do they change?
How do we remember them?
How do they regenerate?

Each piece serves as a support, a new frame built around an image. Playing with forms of modernity sometimes leads to incongruous and humorous associations.”
