I am a visual artist working in the media of installation, painting, printmaking and photography (photosensitive imagery). The discipline of photography is the critical and creative foundation of my interdisciplinary art practice. Photography, both in an analogue as well as digital form, remains my main medium of focus and exploration, embracing the unique richness and conceptual potential of photosensitive processes and their new, or alternative forms of application.

My research interests and artistic practice are in the areas of memory and perception, especially the internal recording of place and time and its visual translation into a tangible image. I am interested in potential connections and tensions between presence and absence, appearance and disappearance – a narrative that resonates around concepts of memory and loss, traces, remains and time. 

In my work I am exploring the idea of photography as an analogue of trauma – particularly in the context of direct exposure, which I treat as trace or remains of a traumatic event. My projects realized over the past decade, examine the relationships between photosensitivity and place, focusing on post-traumatic sites and their visual representations. My work often refers to the official representations of historical events as well as the visual languages and apparatuses that produce them, underlining that history in many respects is the history of recording devices and technologies – also, materiality. 

The theme of radioactivity and a unique bond between photosensitivity and radiation remain the main subject of my work. A unique potential and diversity which I find in the photographic medium allows me to explore possibilities of visual representations of radioactive places – understood as overexposed areas. My recent interests embrace the topography of Shoah and post-Holocaust spaces. (Post)memory and hidden presence of the past: tracing and exposure of invisible trauma; materiality of the traces. 

In my research-based art practice, I developed a concept of the entropic image – a photosensitive image, subject to organically evolving processes of change and destruction, oscillating somewhere between visible and invisible. Through a broad range of experiments in technology and visual aspects of photosensitive image, I examine potentially new areas of application of light-sensitive medium in visual arts outside its natural context of classic photography.
