About the artwork:
Manja (2010) is performance-based slide show and a series of stills. Using different low-tech projectors I created a performances in my studio using transparents, film celluloid, ink, paper cutouts, mirrors and broken glasses. Digital camera that is attached to the projection apparatus then took pictures of the ever-changing projection. At a later stage I used those images to create a slide-show that functions as series of sequences in an open-ended narrative.
