In my videos there is seldom a fixed script and the final result is often based upon the improvisation of the participants in the given context or situation that they are put in. I am interested in how people respond to these set ups, revealing different kinds of behaviour, creating a feeling of ambiguity and uncertainty.

In Zagreb I will prepare a new work for the "Normalization" project at WHW in December.
