My current research focuses on the photographic image as a device for spatial construction and on the various interaction modes between image, space and perception. I use mirrors and glass as installation materials in order to create perspectives and interlocking spaces. In my work, the mirror is an extension of the photographic apparatus; an additional rebound in the image's production chain, somewhere between the photographed object and the camera. I thus place the off-frame in the core of the image and I draw on the qualities of the ambient light in an approach than can be likened to collage.
