BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT
With the outbreak of the war in my country in the early nineties, I was surprised by a primordial violence of man over man. Drawing on the experience of human madness, wishing to fathom both human nature and myself, in 1992 I enrolled on the study of philosophy, later on psychotherapeutic education based on Gestalt and Transactional analysis. As a conceptual artist, since 1996 I have mainly produced site-specific interventions in public spaces, with the aim to involve others in the creative process. Since 2000 I work as producer and journalist at «Fade In», an activist video studio (NGO), on production of documentaries, TV reports and socially committed TV advertising.
