""Studies for Longing / Seeing"" are space-related, reactive installations. They deal with the concept of longing, in relation to the human ideas of nature and landscape in this case symbolized by mountainscapes. They are also kinetic sculptures and pseudo-scientific simulations of landscape, these elements put together make them longing-machines. They explore the idea that interpreting our surroundings, stimuli, data, relationships, humans only move on seemingly stable ground. Nevertheless our interpretations are deeply influenced by this longing for stability. We are constantly developing and applying technics that expand our ability of receptivity, on which we consequentially build up our perception and again develop models and patterns of interpretation to orientate ourself in the world.
