Artistic investigations of space, perception and imagination.
vademecum 2012
Space is not only what we see, but also what we imagine, remember and describe.
Vademecum explored how places, exhibitions and spatial experiences are constructed through language, memory and imagination. Instead of visiting exhibitions directly, descriptions provided by others became the primary source of experience, allowing alternative versions of the same place to emerge through personal interpretation and mental imagery.

The questions explored in Vademecum led to a series of spatial and site-specific installations. While Vademecum investigated how spaces are imagined through description and memory, Fantomas shifted the focus towards the physical experience of space and material. Using found materials connected by screw clamps, the installations created temporary and seemingly unstable structures that altered the perception of their surroundings. By placing ordinary materials into unfamiliar contexts, the works explored how meaning, tension and spatial relationships can change through displacement and arrangement.
Reconstruction & Translation

What began with an interest in how spaces are described and imagined gradually expanded into the reconstruction of existing environments. Photographs, found situations and traces of specific places became starting points for installations that explored how spaces change when they are translated into a new context. Rather than reproducing reality, the works focused on interpretation, displacement and the different meanings a place can take on through reconstruction.
