Gallery / Public installation
Public elevator, double bed and girl
A sleeping girl blocks access to the art exhibition upstairs. The audience must choose if and how to share the elevator with a girl in bed. Going Down surprises the audience with an unexpected situation, imposing inescapable questions of voyeurism, vulnerability and the pwer within everyone to harm others.

Forever Free
Sculptural sound installation
Record players play part of the song 'Born Free'. Their arms bound with elastic bands allowing the record to play in part before returning to the start of the loop. Forever Free is an eternally changing, physical remix. It denounces the artifice of cinematic happy endings with lo-tech mechanics and elastic bands.
The Nihilism Machine
Collaboration with Lidija Slavkovic
An edition of posters for a fictitious and impossible event were distributed immediately after the date announced.
Have a Ball!
Gallery installation in which various balls are painted with advertising slogans.
On the floor of a commercial gallery large, attractive coloured balls are carefully placed and spotlit. The balls are covered with text repeating advertising slogans ‘take me – I’m free’ and ‘take me home today.’ This artwork is a test to see whether art or language is more powerful. If the audience follow the instructions they break all taboos and take the art away from the gallery. If they don’t, then art has the power to take the meaning out of words.
Help Yourself Bugs!
Time-based gallery installation in which resident cockroaches eat the artwork overnight.
In a gallery exhibition sugar letters on the floor read ‘HELP YOURSELF.’ At night, cockroaches gather to feed from the writing, changing the structure of the letters.
Soft Support
A gallery installation of an impossible pillar.
The Steadfast Soldier
An audio / visual installation: The soundtrack recounts from childhood memory the fairytale story of the Steadfast Soldier.
It starts confidently, but there is growing confusion over the details: The soldier returns to the ballerina doll but does he then tumble into the fire and melt?
The remembered story becomes an analogy for the existential question of fate (and god) suggested by the happy version and the nihilism of the tragic ending.

kneading bread: a visual analogy for
fate.The Bride, Divided
Sculptural gallery installation using a bridal corsage
