"By means of a selection based on personal interests, fascination, and my obsession with the notion of ‘the diorama’, it interweaves impressions of a (re-created) fantasyworld with pictures on the process of creation, using my personal appearance. These images of the creation process - I call them performéances -, are the residue of performances held to invoke the spirit of creation. Together with the narratives of old photographs they form an installation on imagination and ephemerality."
