I participated with one part of my project "Grafting", i.e. with video projections from Room 1.

Statement

I have always been interested in the beginnings of various phenomena of life; in my ancestors, my family background, my belonging. The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without the past and the future, the present is partial.

My sensation at the birth of the image, when the paper is lifted up from the clishe is unexplainable and unique. Experimenting and finding out new ways of expression for a texture, a writing, an image, a story, fascinate me. And although I am not using only traditional printmaking techniques I still cannot suppress the urge to use printmaking as a medium. The mix of classical techniques and modern technology, the pact of printmaking, photography, computer and installation, help me express what I intend to achieve in my works, i.e. to express my emotions. Placing them in space and making them touchable.

Stepping out of the margins of printmaking is quite a complex issue for discussion. Questions such as: what is an original, what is a copy, am I a copy etc. bother me. In respect to my physical appearance I ask myself whether any one has already had or will have eyes, lips, a chin, a nose etc. like mine. Who is the original, who is the copy?
