Welcome to my portfolio

Through my work I give people an opportunity to experience frontiers and do things that are not normally part of their lives.

In my work people take on the role, as I do myself, of the visitor, observer, audience and participant. Positions generally emerge in the process. The artistic encounter with various cultures necessarily touches upon themes including politics and religion.

In all cultures and their manifestations, the desire for maximal validation unites politics and religion. The individual person is subordinated to society. Exclusion and segregation, already commonplace and pervasive, are harnessed, discarded, and wielded for personal gain in religion and politics arbitrarily and irrespective of cultural identities. My work can be understood as an attempt at regard- ing roles and social norms across spaces and cultures. I have become known internationally for my cross-disciplinary performances and installations that focus on gender roles and sensitive political and religious themes in multicultural contexts. I incorporate the audience into my performances, challenging it using symbolic objects and situations. Alongside performance and installation I use sculpture and photography to best express and convey my artistic concerns.
