“I am very interested in science and pseudo-science, in access to information, in how art is created, so I use my personal “philosophical toys” in an attempt to answer these questions.

In this sense the inspiration can be understood as ongoing, never ending choreography, of motion, gesture, light, the rhythm, the taste, text and the peculiar attitude to political challenges.”
