Working with sound since 1999.

I borrow methodological approaches from documentary and historiography in my work, but I deal with archival material as flexible and constantly moving matter, rather than static truths.

I work with scripted voice-overs and environmental sound, and this reflects longstanding influences from film and literature.

In collaboration with Jee Eun Kim, I have organized collective reading events, where different literary sources were inserted into one another, creating multiple entries and exits to a text.

I work collaboratively and alone, with film, video, drawings and text and have exhibited in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Currently, I am co-organizing events in a small flat in Copenhagen, the latest being ‘A preliminary outline of the history of disco music with special emphasis on its socio-economic aspects’- a vinyl performance-lecture by the Swedish artist Olof Olsson.
