About the work

An ongoing focus of my work is the relationship between new technologies, society, alternative belief systems and the potential futures of humanity. Recurrent in recent projects, ‘SURVIVOR (F)’, ‘The Escapist Black Hole Spacetime’ and ‘Kabbalistic Futurism’, has been the reimagining of the idea of the museum, hypothetical speculative museums located in non-specific spacetime, on Earth or elsewhere in the universe.
