ScenoArt

    "Today, definitions and labels are all together trendy and sometimes contradictory. Therefore, the labels you or I stick onto the work itself are not relevant. Relevant to me is to evoke awareness and participation by appealing to the viewer's inherent nature to ask questions and perhaps try to find answers.

    And yet, attempting to explain my own process, I have coined the phrase of ScenoArt, to transcend scenography and theatre as an interdisciplinary practice pertaining into new (liminal) forms of art."
