"preparing a controlled apocalypse" (installation- 2022) "Environmental 4D-scanning". Scanning a route/traject from A to B through "space and time". Space, time and movement cause distorted results. These digital 3D (4D)-images/point clouds are being 3D-printed as "earth shells". Negative moulds are made of them and bronze casted. Soon: ("earth shells". Futuristic and archaeological at the same time. (measurements 2.0m x 1.0m)

"_ 0,00000000499064255sec_" A short film in which I follow my own shadow in an authistic way during 1 day, from sunrise to sunset.

No obstacle should stop me from following my shadow. Various tools were also developed for this trip, such as "interceptor-01", "shadowtracer-01" & "artificial helio" (an artificial sun / shadow to get back to the starting point after sunset). Every half hour there was a stop for 2 minutes to measure its shadow, register the exact coordinates on earth and plant an oak tree. (during the whole day he planted a large linear forest). This is an introduction to a doctoral research (PhD) in the arts.
