My exploration of my photo archives often brings me to unexpected points of reflection, like encountering Nicholas Lamas’ work in the Vienna museum. The tradition of copying masters is ancient, but I’m unsure if the same can be applied to modern art. I wonder whether replicating an installation or object from contemporary art could offer me a fresh perspective or experience. It’s an open question I haven’t fully resolved yet, but the possibility intrigues me.

Works with the theme of memory and discoveries within it through the conflict of personal and official history, social criticism, labor relations. For the last years he has been actively involved in land art. The last affected his view and perception of the landscape to some extend and helped him to open a new method of interaction with space, the rejection of object-subject relations with the environment and the inclusion of space not as a part but as a participant in the interaction in his works also actualizing the topics of ecology and overproduction. But the golden thread of his artistic practice remains the theme of memory, recollection and oblivion. He uses the following media: installation, photography, painting, participatory and performative practices, archives, land art.
