Using written and drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created. In a search for new methods to \u2018read the city\u2019, his works references post-colonial theory as well as the avant-garde or the post-modern and the left-wing democratic movement as a form of resistance against the logic of the capitalist market system.<\/p>\n<p>His works demonstrate how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of global cultural interaction over the latter half of the twentieth century. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between Self and Other, between our own \u2018cannibal\u2019 and \u2018civilized\u2019 selves. By using popular themes such as sexuality, family structure and violence, he presents everyday objects as well as references to texts, painting and architecture. Pompous writings and Utopian constructivist designs are juxtaposed with trivial objects. Categories are subtly reversed.<\/p>\n<p>He creates situations in which everyday objects are altered or detached from their natural function. By applying specific combinations and certain manipulations, different functions and\/or contexts are created. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a \u2018corporate world\u2019, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognised, such as the relation with popular culture and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations.<\/p>\n<p>His works are often about contact with architecture and basic living elements. Energy (heat, light, water), space and landscape are examined in less obvious ways and sometimes developed in absurd ways.
