He places self-produced objects and sometimes modified or ready-made objects in constellations that often interact with the given architecture of the space. Often manifesting through supporting sounds, text and the physical transformation of these materials, the chosen off-the-shelf parts are often linked to distribution and manufacturing processes that have fallen into unplanned obsolescence and been discarded. Reflecting by trying to find ways on how these objects correlate within these interactions of all sorts creating constructions with objects where these functionalities in these constructions will not be revealed.
