In 2005 and 2006 he was a visiting student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Joseph Kosuth . From 2006 to 2010 he was a master student of Helmut Mark at the HGB, where he taught at the evening academy in 2010 and 2011.

Up until 2003, his artistic exploration related almost exclusively to non-material works (primarily net art ), with the exception of his first experiments in printing. He reached a turning point in his artistic engagement with the SOLD project, in which, under the pretext of a group exhibition, he put himself in the roles of artist friends and, with their consent, staged authorship. "The artist applies the principle of 'appropriation' both on the level of the work and on the level of the artistic attitude: He crosses the border in the area and likes to poach now and then."
