These works use performative actions. Absurdist self- portraiture that takes place in everyday spaces live in front of public gaze and scrutiny.?

The artist acts as contemporary flâneur and provocateur, enacting perhaps playful or irrational actions and ungraspable experiments. The works are caught between the performances themselves and their resultant documentation, creating a discourse between time-based photography and notions of the event.?

By collapsing the event and its record into a single performative moment we explore existential truths.?
