"The installation Upward, behind the onstreaming it mooned combines a variety of media, ranging from drawing, installa - tion and objects to audio works. The setting is inspired by the Age of Sail, the era when sailing ships embodied the pinnacle of technological advancements and dominated the world for over three centuries. Besides my juvenile fascination for ma - ritime lore, adventure and discovery, historical implications such as colonialism, technological progress and globalization form the thematic undertone of the exhibition. The objects in the installation induce familiarity, but they’re never explicit. They’re merely the representation of fantastic historicity – shadows of the real world – and they resemble an entrance; surfaces that act as props; the idea of antiques, inscribed age, hollow on the inside; the notion that bullet holes could resem - ble celestial maps; a generated face; words written by dreams. I am creating a place inside the (exhibition-)space, located somewhere between the real, the symbolic, and the imagi - nary realm, where meaning is only ever suggested to create a three-dimensional canvas upon which desires, fears, and experiences might be projected."
