Tree/bark

The project is the result of periodical visits to the forests near Vienna. The goal was to forage for collage material, and the collected tree barks were then incorporated into a series of prints/digital collages.

The current material can be understood as the beginning of a process. The graphics are to be printed with mezzotint and mixed media, possibly expanded into a site-specific installation.

Photojournal of a landscape

Photojournal of a Landscape is a project that bridges the past and present through manual photomanipulation. Using found photographs from Polish antique stores, I stitched Eastern European soc-realist buildings into images where these structures either didn't exist yet or held a different significance at the time they were captured. The result is a juxtaposition that explores the evolving meaning of these landscapes.

The backsides of the photos add another layer, rendering the buildings in nonfigurative forms. Price stickers - a few zlotys - mark what were once personal memories. These buildings fade and distort just like the memories they intrude upon. Through this intervention, the project reflects on the transformation of both space and memory in the context of socio-political change.

Viewpoints

Viewpoints is a experiment during which found objects are re-contextualised though silkscreen printing and interaction. Fragmented images and sentences with abstact meaning are mounted onto the object, which gain a changing meaning depending on the position of the viewer.
