Ghent Metropolitan Area
Multimedia artist working primarily with video, sound art, ‘webbing’ and drawings, which are often combined in installations. The common denominator in his work is the dissonance between fiction and reality. His poetic use of technology allows the hyper-personal to flirt with anonymity, confronting the etherical with the mechanical. By giving the upper hand to dream logic, he underlines the malleability of one's sense of reality. He links his works to one another, regardless of medium, under the guise of ‘DreamCamEra’. Utilizing a myriad of fragmented structures and living archives, he enables different trajectories of exploration and interpretation. He has exhibited his works in various Belgian museums and has been showcased on several international festivals amongst which Happy New Ears festival, Pixxelpoint New Media Art Festival, Berlin Fashion Video Festival, and the European Media Arts Festival.
