Co-creation

Co-creation offers the possibility to develop large-scale light installations through local production, shared artistic vision, and flexible licensing — creating works that resonate within the region and connect to a global context.

As an artist, I create light installations that explore form, space, and perception. Alongside my independent practice and the licensing of existing works, I also offer co-creation as a way to develop new installations — shaped collaboratively with festivals, institutions, and cultural partners.

Co-creation allows for a shared creative process where ideas, needs, and local conditions inform the outcome. Some projects evolve from internationally exhibited concepts, others are created from the ground up in direct response to a specific place or community. In every case, the process remains flexible, open, and driven by a shared vision.

Production can happen locally — using regional materials, talent, and infrastructure — or be carried out remotely and adapted on-site. Local fabrication is optional, and decisions are made based on what fits best for the project, budget, and timeline.

All resulting installations remain original artworks under my authorship. Co-created works are shared through clear licensing agreements that define the scope and usage within specific regions. I offer full artistic direction and technical guidance throughout the process.
