This incomplete manual leaves you with no instructions and reveals no secrets. Instead, it’s a starter pack of necessities to perform the activity of keeping goats and making cheese.
An intensely used tool in this process is the body. You’ll need it in almost every step throughout the day. Not only for milking, but also carrying fences and moving your herd. The mountainous terrain of Lessinia adds an extra demanding layer while performing these activities up and down the hills.
The exact course of action, the amount of ingredients and temperatures will be found elsewhere. But from these observations there are other things to be learned. The skills and tools you’ll need are many and making cheese is more than heating milk.

The main narrative of this book is a series of images documenting construction sites
and urban infrastructures. As the series progresses, some details emerge whereas others are
omitted. Movement and space are at once static and elastic. Because the images are published
as timelines, they remind us that the process of photography deals with time and space, as
well as the constant manipulation of those parameters. It follows then, that the skill of the
photographer is to make choices in relation to the camera and space. Therefore, the series of
construction sites evidences the camera’s ability or inability to act as a window to reality.
Philosopher Vilém Flusser once suggested that ‘in the act of photography the camera does the
will of the photographer, but the photographer has to will what the camera can do.’

Just like a car crash – photographs (accidents) stop the progress of movement and time. In the aftermath, photographs become witnesses of what has happened. We use them to understand the logic to what has occured. However, photographys indexicality is not an absolute one. Can we be sure of what we have in front of us?

Partly a photographic research project, partly an artistic body of work. Static Motion looks on how photography have been used to teach and illustrate the subject of motion.
During the research process flipping through “How to - manuals” of various kinds - a reoccurring phenomena appeared. A single photographic frame seemed to be insufficient for the task of illustrating motion. Authors had to use workarounds such as serial photography, double exposures, and illustrations to better fulfill their aim.

The installation A Game of Badminton documents the course of a badminton game. The documentation (16 photographic prints) focuses solitary on the shuttlecock. The players and result remain unpresented, as well as any chronology of the game.
The position of each individual print were determined by the position of the photographed shuttlecock. Installing by this rule allowed the badminton game to be reconstructed and experienced once again.
