COMING TOGETHER 2018 Installation from mixed media 3.5m x 2m Exhibited in ZĂźrich University of the Arts, Switzerland Based on my relief experimentation of body fragments I disbanded the fragments from flat surfaces and started connecting bodies to my older works and objects people left behind and suspended them in a net like form.

LIFE IS GREAT! 2017 Diary, Field Recording, Digitally Scanned Diary Pages, Projector Diary A7, 2.3m x 1.8m Video Projection Exhibited in ZĂźrich University of the Arts, Switzerland Over the course of several months I filled a Diary with drawings, prints, paintings and texts which was presented as a closed book in a vitrine. Several scanned pages where shown as a video so people could have a small predetermined insight. The accompanying recording was taken on a Saturday night in my apartment, showing sounds that relate to the drawings.
