the CityFiction series 2005 - 2011
The CityFiction Series challenge both our perception of a place and of its memory, making us aware of our inability to identify one without the other. The frontier between what’s real and what’s imaginary is blurred. At the point where architectural projection, photography, and digital art meet, the CityFiction Series is a collection of nearly real, almost unrecognizable landscapes, which, through the artist’s interpretation, have become the dramatization of a fantasized and amplified urbanscape.

the Mess series 2009 - 2011 ...
The experimental lab behind the CityFictions, free of any landscape or cityscape thoughts but charged by strong abstraction. The Mess Series still is based on architectural digital photography.
