‘I work with sounds, noises and language. In particular, I focus on the arrangement and movement of acoustic signals within a space. In doing so, I give the almost immaterial sound a physical presence, creating synaesthetic situations. Sound and image interact not only on the visual level and in the spatial dimension, but also on the acoustic level that guides perception. A language of objects takes shape.’

Every object, every space, has its own personality, its own sound, even if we cannot hear it. For each sculpture, I develop a distinctive narrative and let the objects speak for themselves. The acoustic, sculptural inner life of the objects and installations takes us on a journey through space, where all situations interact with one another. It is only through the equal treatment of the auditory, visual and spatial components that the whole achieves its intended goal – the sound sculpture.”
