Vision & Working method

 

Contemporary cities are haunted by ghosts of hopeless, historically loaded and emotionally charged buildings and spaces in decay. Their souls are lost and stuck in a state “in between”, due to impossibility to adapt to the shifts of our time such as Climate change, Pandemic, Economic collapse, Political change, shifts of meanings and needs.

I am trying to register and document the shifts and its global scale effects on particular personalized examples. And help the spirits of places, and the deeper stories hidden within them, appear to the living. Materialize what is not in the physical world anymore, but not beyond yet, by capturing the “in between” state and make it tangible. In a shape of Architectural large- (sometimes 1:1) scale models. Embalming and mummifying memories and emotions, nostalgia and loss.
