In his work, existing spaces that surround us - and our habitual movements within them - are put into relation with digital realities. Attributes of these places and processes are isolated, alienated, combined, distorted. Realms that would otherwise withdraw themselves from our attention, are made visible. Intermediate dimensions are exposed, viewing habits questioned. In confrontation with the digital chaos, one is challenged to reflect on their own reality. ​ Main software he uses is Cinema4D / Redshift / X-Particles in combination with After Effects / Premiere / Photoshop.
