Relational Art

Considering that nowadays societal relations are less lived experiences but are more and more carried out through digital networks, I personally try to relate to the world in a direct way, seeking to capture interconnections that I sense in the life going on all around me. I let myself be absorbed by the milieu I’m in. I voluntarily let my mind and body wander in order to let all physical and psychological fields of observation be activated. The body is meant to feel. One might argue that everything in art is about relations anyway. Yes, but this is my way to move away from the new mass media environment, to be receptive and closer to the natural elements where I can watch Nature (including humans) unfold its processes. In doing so, my aim is to move away from preconceptions, archetypes, aesthetic principles and the perfectly standardized media images that come forth as the sole representatives of truth.
