STATEMENT OF WORK

In my work, I explore the history of photography and the structures that shape how images are made and understood. I move between video, installation, text, and spatial interventions, focusing less on images as isolated objects and more on the social, material, and political circumstances that inform their production, circulation, and how they are perceived. I am especially interested in how images are shaped by the systems around them, whether technical, institutional, or architectural, and how these frameworks influence what becomes visible and what remains out of view.

I often begin with images or objects that are tied to specific histories or political contexts. I mix documentary strategies with fictional or constructed elements to understand how narratives form and shift. In film, I often treat landscapes as places where different historical layers surface at the same time. I keep returning to the question of how images and objects move through systems of state or institutional power, and how those movements alter their meaning.

My projects move from research into spatial or performative experimentation and often take the form of videos, installations or publications. I use repetition, rearrangement, and measurement to understand how attention is guided and how existing visual patterns might shift. Many works respond directly to their surroundings, drawing on local contexts or materials to understand how images function within a specific place. Personal and family histories enter my work when they open broader questions such as migration, colonial infrastructures, or the circulation of photographic knowledge. These connections allow me to approach established narratives from a different angle and to make visible the structures that shape what and how we see.
