Since 2010 I work with analog and digital photographs and  techniques of lens based re-appropriated collage and re-composition of the originals. From epistemological aspect my works deal with irrational tendency towards  the documentary photography and the interrelated mode of knowledge production. My artistic aim is not in deconstruction of the mode of knowledge production itself, instead in the irrational tendency to demolish my personal attachment with the mindset of this mode of knowledge production. As a singular schema, the irrational tendency seems ambivalent and vague by start. Personally, this tendency of irrational thinking while working, is the only approach in order to reach and grasp a new, original tendency towards culturally appropriated ideas, such photographic medium as a piece of work.

Currently finishing studies in MPhil in Art History at University of Jyväskylä.
