CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
smells to travel and evoke memories , carries sound vibrations almost creating and impression of a virtual space , and temporally materialises light through floating dust and haze .
The variety of visual and sound elements you merge together creates unpredictable affects to the viewers : how important is the role of chance in your process ?
There is a very distinct methodology behind my recent work , with a clear intention to break the habits that people establish around space . The work aims to create a condition both spatial and temporal where the audience seizes to explore space in auto-pilot mode . This may result in a range of different responses – emotional and physical . Each individual will think , and react in unique non-patterned ways . This creates a new spatiality by itself ; one that is fragile and interchangeable ; a spatial serendipity that cannot be presupposed or reproduced , and manifests art as situated practice ; as localised occurrence .
One of the hallmarks of your work is the capability to create a direct involvement with the viewers , who are urged to evolve from a condition of mere spectatorship . So , before leaving this conversation we would like to pose a question about the nature of the relationship of your art with your audience . Do you consider the issue of audience reception as being a crucial component of your decision-making process , in terms of what type of language is used in a particular context ?
This is a very difficult question . I always start with an idea triggered by a site visit , regardless of the outcome being site-responsive or not . There are no baseline assumptions then . Each locus prompts a complex set of making actions ; some highly practical , some purely philosophical
