MA STUDIES / BODY WITHOUT ORGANS


My work hovers between sculpture, drawing and painting, and it often developes into a mixed media installation that playfully interacts with the space as a picture plain. It blurs the edges between objects and their environment. Depending on the space provided i can exhibit these pieces seperately or -more often- by combining them in mixed medium installations.


In 2009 i created several collages and assemblages.The basic and guttural element of collage in combination with it's quick and urgent nature provided me with the tools i needed in order to investigate violence and deconstruction.


During my MA studies i was influenced by the concept of Body without Organs by Deleuze and Guattari. D&G believe that the human organism is posessed by infinite energy and that sexuality is a flux power circulating the body. Deleuze's analysis speaks about a possibility of a new extended organism that moves beyond the boundaries of the real body, beyond the boundaries of skin. The inside blends with the outside and the organs change places or disappear. A new body landscape is created from the start.
