His practice relies on the use of technologies to replicate or imitate, rearticulate and re-imagine unchallenged structures in Western society. He works on long-term projects driven by partially fictive scenarios, often based on scientific findings and referring to past, present and future socio-political circumstances. With an interested in the level of uncertainty that is involved in the construction of human knowledge, the projects interweave scientific research, historical elements, memory and fiction.
