Me

My work moves between Polaroids, animated films, installations and digital and analogue collages. I often begin with a box of postcards containing reproductions of works of art from history. In each image, I or someone else is placed as if we have unexpectedly been given a role in an old scene. I also use cut-out pictures from Artis Historia books, and these, together with Polaroids and my own photographs, form an ever-growing archive. Starting with a digital photograph or scan, I continue working in Photoshop and Adobe Premiere, where layers shift and boundaries blur. This creates a tension between personal memory and a collective visual language. Old traces are given new life and connected to contemporary experiences. I describe the feeling evoked by my work as Images drifting: images that move, disappear and reappear. Through this process, I am constantly searching for connections that make memory tangible while simultaneously breaking it open. The result is a light-hearted, poetic artwork that gently lifts history out of its frame.
