Since the late nineties he creates mainly site-specific closed-circuit video productions and installations. The artist often presents his works in places, which are marked by an aura of darkness, uncertainty and mystery; think of a railway station at night, a mausoleum or an empty room (cell). He often uses small television sets and cameras that become an integral part of his installations – his live recordings, in a continuous way, present some selected cuttings of reality. The artist investigates issues of control systems and mechanisms. Many works have a meditative, illusive character. This effect can be amplified by multi-channel projections of images that pretend to be stills.
