‘Bread & Game’, (Baguettes, Anti-pigeon spikes, Varnish, Wooden Sticks.) 2014.

These breads were placed on wood that had the function to close the window against

uninvited people. The building supposed to host people with social needs. This function

disappeared and the building is empty. With the breads and anti-pigeon spikes on top the

general problem is explained in a different way.

‘Straatmeubilair’, (Readymade, Spraypaint.) 2016.

In the Jewish quarter of Antwerp I painted a series of furniture that were abandoned,

actually a piece of garbage. After more than one year of camouflaged soldiers on the streets

of Antwerp I see them as a piece of street furniture (electricity cabin, traffic light...) because

we don’t care anymore, still, they walk around with big arms. Also the surrealistic image of a

person that should secure you, walking around in a camouflage costume in a grey city scene

brought me to this action(s).

This panel is placed in the center of Athens. The word ‘’ means: ‘Depression’.

It is a word game with KATALIPSI wich means: Occupation. Offcourse there are a lot of

explanations for this work, but this for the observer.
