The work does not follow a particular style or category. The piece combines the sounds of water and waves flowing over gravel and rhythms of a piano, forming a piece of music.

The Anthropocene Foundry Los Angeles 202

 My video work “disorientated displacement” is part of:

The Anthropocene Foundry Los Angeles 2025

January 18^th – March 1^st. 2025

Tuesday – Saturday 11am - 5pm*

Torrance Art Museum, 3320 Civic Center Drive, Torrance, CA 90503, USA

The Anthropocene Foundry Los Angeles 2025 – is consisting of 6 video programs, for each week another program composed of 2 parts. The sources for curating/selecting - of thematic and technical nature alike - are standing under the motto of “Finiteness /Infinity”:

The Anthropocene Project, including about 500 international artists, created and curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne for The New Museum of Networked Art - dealing with the human impact on nature and the natural living environment manifested in two comprehensive media collections – video art & sound art, and focused on animation, e.g. animate’C24 – the retrospective of Cologne Art & Animation Festival (2010-2025) pointing to the human impact in terms of the artistic creation itself. The video artists composing different types of self-created footage, partially using the latest technology (artificial intelligence), are based on a specific subjective view on the Big Creation (our world) forming new types of reality of the world they are living in. They do not only reflect the existing but go far beyond to visions of the future referring to the finiteness of life as well as the infinity of the Creation. By being confronted with, the audience @ Torrance Art Museum becomes the foundry of a new human existence, at least in the imagination.

Thanks to the curator Wilfried Agricola de Cologne

nothing will stay as it was 

2024 / 5:52 min. /16:9 /sound stereo / color & b/w The work aims to approach the concepts of light and movement from a different perspective. The light segments in this video are formed by sunlight falling on the floor of a room divided by a window with lattices. The light fields move almost unnoticed, changing their direction and shape as the sun moves. Nevertheless, the sunlight forms a striking, firmly delimited light space on the floor. The second movement element has a kind of mechanical-repetitive character and is performed by a person. The light fields, empty at the beginning, are filled with objects such as stones, small branches and leaves. The person changes the spatial scenery by removing, replacing or placing something differently. Light and shadow shape the character of the object and field. A third movement, which is not visible but noticeable, are the sections of “empty time” between the actions and yet progresses

Transforming: Here and Now

The exhibition “Transforming Here and Now” presents a selection of eight photographs from my socially and community-engaged art projects.

Transforming: Here and Now

31.01.2025 – 07.02.2025

Groundfloor, Faculty of Arts Building, University of Warwick, University Road, Coventry CV4 7AL ,UK

The exhibition illustrates how individuals and communities assert their agency through environmental initiatives and creative expressions, from community-building environmental projects to reflections on urban, rural, and virtual spaces. These diverse works offer multi-layered perspectives on how different environments foster self-expression and social engagement in our rapidly evolving world. The exhibited works span diverse media and geographies, reflecting urgent social and environmental concerns across the globe. Through various artforms, the artists engage with themes of resistance, identity, and ecological justice. From grassroots activism to digital spaces, their works reveal how communities navigate and transform their environments in pursuit of change and a better future. The exhibition is presented alongside the After Postcolonialism: Global Theory, Local Transformations conference, which brings scholars together to examine the intersection of postcolonial theory and lived experience.

Transforming: Here and Now is an art exhibition featuring canvas art, photography, installations, and video works by twelve international artists: Ann Chang, P.A. Echague, Francesca Mauricio, Manesa Hulia Diaz, Joannes Christopher Gerad, Vardit Goldner, Joe Li, Natalie Lo, Alexandro Casales Navarrete, Moses Sodipo, Konstantina Tompoulidou, and Ngo Chun Tse.

Thank you to the curatorial team

childhood interrupted

 

My work “hopscotch” is represented in the group exhibition

childhood interrupted

01/02/2025 - 01/03/2025

The House of Smalls

103 Henderson Row,Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3 5BB, Scotland, UK

~ childhood (noun):

the condition of being a child; the period of life before puberty

~ interrupted (adjective):

broken, discontinued, or hindered

Curator Amy Oliver

The work features a drawing of a hopscotch game on broken street and disused rails. The road and rails give the impression that you will fall down the horizon if you hop too far. Everything is surrounded by dark blocks, with a small piece of sky in between. The whole scenery is metaphorical and symbolizes how quickly a childhood can end, be interrupted and disrupted. However, the work contains autobiographical elements about my own childhood and how my childhood and innocence ended after certain experiences. In my childhood. I early became a cynical, doom-thinking, distrustful child who kept my distance from other children and adults.

 “meaning to be hidden”

The concept of the performance follows a strict choreography, the performer reflects in carefully executed movements the notion of dignity in relation to time, silence, the power of solitude and life. It points out that every living being and every object has a dignity and its time. In addition, it deals with the concepts of desire and uselessness. Desire for uselessness is not about chasing uselessness, but about finding meaning in the seemingly impractical through creativity, criticism and insight. Let us consider desire as an energy, not a void. When desire is freed from the constraints of utility, it becomes a force that can lead us to new ideas and forms of expression, showing that the useless has its own productivity.
