Have you seen außerirdischen Troll?
Who is “außerirdischer Troll“? The “außerirdischer Troll“ is an alien. This is the small guy who makes trouble and sells aluminium hats to other trolls and some people. Someone tries to find him.
In the beginning was the idea, then the fiction story of a fictional character. It’s an allegory not exactly based on Nordic mythology of trolls and fairy tales. The series of conceptual artwork of manipulated photographs, installations and video sequences. Different non-confessional formats and media rounds the creative vision of the author. From tiny like postage stamp photographs to very large formats without framing. Created over time and space without connection, but with the signs of the transition.
Try to find and understand the past, the present and the future. Try to find and understand yourself and you’ll see the end of the story. But the story has no end, it is still open and ongoing. Enjoy the way, enjoy the visual avant-garde!
