My approach consists of drawings, pictures, photos, video recordings and own texts which are either unfinished or do not have an effect on the proper place. We breathe new life into them developing them further. Fears of contacts and blockades disappear by extending the medium. Perhaps a new process or form is needed in order to keep on working on the original ones. The new medium probably helps to realize that you were too restricted and that there are other forms which are more fun or which suit you better. What could you do with your own drawings or the many photos lying in a box or waiting on your hard disk? Perhaps there will be a new composition and connection with other materials, memories and images. I will offer a beamer and a camera so that we are able to experiment with projections, sound and light. Furthermore, I will provide a scanner and a printer (black and white).
