(Im)possible Interventions

In my project I create small-scale sculptures by using techniques and materials that are usually not associated with large-scale structures or public sculpture, because they do not reflect our ideas of longevity towards the future. These materials include, among others: twigs, animal fiber, and vegetable fiber.  After constructing the sculpture, I identify a locale where I imagine placing the sculpture if it were enlarged. I take photographs of the place and digitally locate the sculpture in the chosen site, creating the illusion of large-scale public interventions.  My photomontages are “(im) possible interventions” because they challenge our sense of space, place, and scale while engaging questions around popular tourist/travel photography as well as the aesthetics of interventions.

My intention with "(Im) possible Interventions" is that viewer question the existence of the structures I place virtually in the public space, by not being completely sure about the photograph's veracity. Although photographic manipulation is something that has been happening for a long time, our society at large believes in the veracity of photographs. Through my interventions, I want to challenge the boundaries between familiar and distant as well as veracity and fantasy.
