“Her work includes video and audio works , photographs , installations and performances that question the idea of ​​time in all of its dimensions - historical , real , and fictional . Her main focus is on personal narratives and memories and their relationship to consequences that affect a larger community. "

“My projects deal with the traces of the lives of others, more precisely those who play a supposedly subordinate role in world history. With the help of these sources I would like to initiate a fundamental reflection on the condition of collective and personal identity and memory in modern times. My work develops out of research and demands the participation of the viewer and society as such in the process of memory. "
