Interludes - a ride in 4.5 parts (2014) is a video installation (25min.) for two TV monitors, created in collaboration with För Künkel. The piece is an exploration of spatial politics through multiple stories, and the ways in which these organise space and its interrelationships. Through a dramaturgy specifically devised for two interrelated sources of image and sound, Interludes conveys a dialogue between the TV's and their in-between space.

Together, both TVs depict different places that correspond to four main locations across three countries: Portugal (Gerês), Croatia (Omiš), and Germany (Funkhaus and High Deck Siedlung, both in Berlin). Each one of these places offers a particular story of mobility, introduced as a dialogue between two characters (and mirroring the dialogue between the two TVs). Each character represents a particular perspective regarding a specific experience of mobility. The mobilities portrayed, and their multiple viewpoints, include stories of migration and commuting, both urban and rural.

Interludes - a ride in 4.5 parts was screened at the Research Symposium, University of Roehampton, London, UK

Axis (2010) is a video piece (HD video, 3:02 min. loop) created in collaboration with Marcin Dudek. The piece follows some of the work developed in Traces. Specifically, it furthers our exploration of the relation between body and architecture trough the manipulation of brown parcel tape into and across several rooms and floors of the then deserted old Euston Exchange in London. In search of the axes of the building, the video portrays the edifice like an architectural scanner, creating a three-dimensional drawing in the space, accompanied by the rasping sound of the stretching tape, which rhythmically frames the journey through time and space.

Axis was screened at Trampoline Platform / Territorial Play, Nottingham, UK and CologneOFF VI / Cologne International Videoart Festival, Germany. It then toured through the Ionian International Digital Film Festival, Lefkas, Greece; Moscow Museum of Modern Art and Smolny University / ProArte, St.Petersburg, Russia; Shams / The Sunflower, Beirut, Lebanon; Proyector Video Art Festival, Madrid, Spain; Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn, Estonia; Arteles Tampere, Vakiopaine, Jyväskylä, and Keuruu Museum, Finland; Stowarzyszenie OFFicyna, Szczecin, Poland; Arad Art Museum, Romania; City Art Gallery Kharkiv and Goethe Institute Kiev, Ukraine; Alliance Française, New Delhi, India

Traces (2008) is a video piece (Mini DV, 2:07 min. loop) created in collaboration with Marcin Dudek. The work explores the relation between the movement of the body and the apparent fixity of architectural space - including of physical structures in public parks and council estate buildings in the area of Southwark, London - through the handling of brown parcel tape. The flexibility and linearity of the vinyl tape not only serves the assembling of various temporary installations specially made for the camera, but it also contributes, through its distinct sound, to convey a seemingly continuous sonic interconnection between the different points of contact, thus providing an audio-visual form of structuring the body's directions through space.

Traces was screened at the XV Bienal de Arte Internacional de Cerveira, Portugal, and Frame Research 09, Porto, Portugal
