I’m a multimedia-artist, filmmaker and researcher who works on the border between film and media-arts. I graduated from the film departement of KASK in 2004, and subsequently did a postgraduate in visual arts (HISK, 2008). My research at KASK & Conservatorium includes a PhD in audiovisual arts entitled The International Institute for Conserving, Archiving and Distribution of Other people’s Memories (IICADOM) (2016) and a Postdoctoral Research entitled Expanded Narrativity (2023). I’m currently affiliated with the research cluster Archival Sensations. In my artistic work I focus on the re-use of existing footage to reflect on the closely related theme’s memory and the archive. Central to my practice is my ever-growing IICADOM-archive which consists of anonymous home-movies sourced from flea markets and thrift stores.

My installation work has been presented at numerous institutions such as Manifesta8, S.M.A.K., Z33 and de brakke Grond, while my films had screenings at festivals such as IDFA (Amsterdam), IFFR (Rotterdam), BIEFF (Bucharest), Courtisane (Ghent).
