"One part of my artistic work takes place in museum rooms where historical exhibitions are shown, or – simply put – in rooms with their own atmosphere and more history than simply the aesthetic one.

My main interest in those installations is to show aesthetic objects in the background of various interpretations concerned with other (non-artistic) content. The visitor has to connect to different but similar areas and has to build his own special oneness. This technique of exhibition leads to communicative structures, rather than to isolation of aesthetic works."
