position

My artistic practice examines images through the conditions under which they appear, become legible, and enter into relation. It moves between photography, video, text, digital fields, and installative arrangements, tracing how perception, technical processes, time, and context shape what an image can hold or withhold.

Images emerge from collective visual memory and circulate through cultural image reservoirs. Moving across different media and systems, they return in altered forms. What matters is not only what they show, but how traces, repetitions, shifts, and losses reorganise their meaning.

Material is therefore not limited to substance, surface, or support. It also includes light, density, overexposure, technical operations, and forms of withholding. Material functions as a condition of relation: it organises perception and enables effects without becoming fully available or entirely legible.

AI forms part of these artistic conditions. It operates as a form of memory, connection, and transformation through which language, image material, and earlier contexts are taken up and reconfigured. It is also materially bound to water, energy, hardware, infrastructures, and the cultural systems through which images are produced, circulated, and remembered.

In my work with AI systems, I use the term shared handwriting for the trace that emerges between perception, language, system operations, image material, response, and artistic decision. The term does not resolve questions of agency or responsibility. Embodied perception, artistic accountability, and the final decision remain on my side, while the operations of AI participate in the forms, connections, and shifts that arise within the work.

Works such as blind material and notation.world make these conditions perceptible in different ways. They examine blindness, touch, memory, and withdrawal as active image conditions. Across the practice, this undecidability is not treated as a lack, but as a condition of the work: what matters is not whether an element is analogue, digital, found, or generated, but the relations that emerge between these states. Legibility remains inseparable from what resists access, and relation emerges precisely where an image does not fully give itself away.
