I SDTS

Smokin' drinkin'
talking shit!

People talk about swarm intelligence.

A work on the superfluous words.
Pause conversations.

I EMPTY TRAIN

In our environment there are familiar places or situations, which can become something strange or even threatening due to changed circumstances. In this work, an everyday situation is presented in an altered perceptual gesture. This can be caused by different triggers like illness, medication, drugs, influence of other persons, loneliness, etc. A study of perception.

I PATH

People change their position. Change means movement. Movement means progression. Mentally and physically. Our heartbeat sets the rhythm.
The audio is based on recordings of my own heartbeat.

I ENTER

We come from the sea, the salt content in our blood is a silent indication of this. With birth, we enter into life. Are being loved, hated, used, tested, sorted, approved. Must choose. Often others choose for us, whether we like it or not.
