A NARRATIVE KIT. is a box, designed to look like a book. The Kit contains two diaries, a map, an audio CD of recordings, drawings, charts of relationships, a log of activity, polaroids and a few more pieces of ephemera. By piecing together the parts of the story, the viewer/reader becomes an investigator of sorts, actively engaged in (re-)constructing the narrative. Originally, the story is constructed of a collage of interviews I conducted, personal experience and characters from literature. The combination of these constructs a character named 'Marie Tonine' who seems to have disappeared (cues like the voice-mails help to build the idea that she is gone). The story is finally documented in two perspectives which mirror each other in contents : the first person s, through diaries, drawings and notes, and a third person perspective, as if someone had been keeping track of her, through a log of activity and 'evidence-like' photographs... The project intentionally provokes a state of ambiguity. By combining different peoples lives into one scenario the story slips away from realism. Mystery and theatricality promote the blurring of the line between fiction and fact.

LISTEN. is an installation made of string and levitating objects. Set in a quiet and normal kitchen-space, the piece makes visual the tension between two people and the objects which surround them. In the installation, reality is reversed: the inanimate objects take flight while the two protagonists seem stilled in time. The setting for this installation is hyper-normal. The kitchen in the morning, the man eating cereal... But in this story, the tension between the two silent characters is projected onto the things that surround them. The cereal spilled on the ground takes on the words they are not saying to each other....the tension is transfered to the objects which no longer respond to time, gravity and their basic inanimate characteristics. In the documentation of this installation, the fluorescent lines turn into a graphic form.

SPACEWALK.is a project in collaboration with Anders Johnson and JungGon Lee. The history of space travel is riddled with conspiracy theories and a sense of uncertainty. In the fall of 2008, the first chinese spacewalk mission was launched and set the nation among the few who have had the technology the financial, political and military status to do so. However the audio transcript of the walk was distributed the day before it occurred and provoked (reinforced) the sense of disbelief already inherent to the endeavor. Our project was to re-inact the 3 astronauts walk in an obviously fake setting. We made suits and helmets out of duct-tape and cardboard and lit a street corner with our car headlights to shoot the documentary video of our space adventure. The result is a low-fi, moody video set to the carefully crafted noise soundtrack of new york band black dice. In this project the 3 participant act out a fiction made out the collective history of current events. The very obviously fake materials and making, disrupt the illusion of the real and heighten the staged quality which is where the commentary lies.
