Troika
In this video, three men interact by towing a police car from one barrier to another using ropes. This imagery could symbolize a protest against power or socio-cultural issues, prompting an internal dialogue about control, authority, and societal relationships. The introspection evoked by the video might lead to reflections on the individual's role in the system, their influence on power, and the possibilities for changing the status quo

Hydra
Diese Installation stellt die Frage nach der Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Zentrum und der Peripherie. Fernseher, die durch Kabel miteinander verbunden sind und vom Zentrum ausgehen, spielen jeweils ihre eigene Melodie. Gemeinsam bilden sie eine Komposition, die sich ständig verändert und jeden Augenblick zu einem einzigartigen Ereignis macht, das sich nie wiederholen wird

Ivan and Sonja
In an abandoned boarding school for troubled teenagers in Bulgaria, the scratched names Ivan and Sonya on the wall silently testify to the past. In the corridor of the mysterious building captured on video, diverse individuals sing love songs in different languages, their figures gradually fading away. In the end, only a little boy remains, singing a song about love in English, filling the emptiness of the abandoned spaces with the warmth of his voice.

"Contemporary Barbarians"
The video "Contemporary Barbarians" offers a reflection on how the so-called "high culture" is challenged by the harsh reality. While the opera singer presents her performance, the fence with the cut-out word "Hochkultur" is carried past by two anonymous figures. This scene symbolizes the confrontation between the idealized world of high culture and the harsh realities of life. The action of destroying or removing the "Hochkultur" inscription suggests that this traditional notion of culture is not immune to the challenges and changes of time. Rather, it is influenced and possibly even questioned by circumstances and environment. Thus, the video raises the question of how the definition of culture changes in a constantly evolving world and how it adapts to the realities and needs of society. It invites us to think about the relationship between art, culture, and social dynamics and how they influence and shape each other.
