Expanded Cinema / 2025-2026 / 16mm to 2k  / Single-channel filmloop / In Development
In To Caress A Cloud, I construct clouds in the forest and film them at 500 frames per second using a decades-old 16mm camera, combining the footage with sound and voice to shape an immersive cinematic loop. The work unfolds as a meditative, sensuous experience—an invitation to feel, rather than resolve, the instability of perception.



2023 / 16mm to 2k / Stereo / 2-channel loop / 53'
A two-channel film installation, immersing  in the memories of TRAVIS (33). He wanders through the Canadian rockies firing volley’s of arrows into dead treestumps. Over and over again. A strange rhythmic loop reveals itself.




Expanded Documentary Installation / 2025
“the mirror” by director Daniel T. Halsall is a documentary expanded-cinema installation that brings visitors to the Brazilian Amazon, where the remote Munduruku community is undergoing a rapid digital transformation after gaining internet access only about a year and a half ago. It asks how their smartphone use differs from the now-ubiquitous patterns seen in Munich and elsewhere, and what Australia’s under-16 social media ban (effective December 10, 2025) suggests in this context.



2015 / 2k / Single channel / loop / 7’
I SPY I SPY is a single screen film loop, journeying past 8 apartmentbuildings in Utrecht, with it’s sounds, music and images resulting in a mosaic of memories.
