Visual Nomads

Our visual environment is a complex net of signs, pictures and texts whose origins are hard to track. The references are constantly intersecting one another and appearances are traveling across the world. I regard picture as a proto-screen where the layering of visual material is being projected as the confrontation with the flood of images. I have been analysing how disparate elements are converging mostly through painting, collage and animation. I was interested in recycling in its physical as well as conceptual sense. On the other hand I often use found images from magazines, photos from the internet or reproductions of artworks and therefore deal with appropriation. The latter raises questions about authorship and originality and stimulates the examination of modern communication and reproducibility of images. Combining and manipulating the visual material results in a picture within a picture. Images are not isolated, but changeable entities that are constantly migrating – they are visual nomads.
