From Mother to Mother
Duration of film: 22:34 minutes


Fascinated by the simple magic of how human life starts to potentially develop in the womb of every woman, I decided to interview five Mothers and asked them to share their experience on motherhood. I name them mothers, because every woman is a potential mother and this feeling seems to be ingrained within our existence. I asked them to share this experience in their lives, which creates life, to maybe come a little closer to understand my mother and the reasons for why I am here.





Slow Down London Documentation
Duration of film: 09:59


Following this exciting ten-day Festival through a lens, this ten-minute film, is the short version of documentation on the Slow Down London Festival 2009. It is grasping the essential notion, that as a collective we are finding ourselves in a time, especially in reflection to the economic crisis and climate change, where alternative ways of living are vital to explore.

The Slow Down London Festival offers debates over time, speed, travel, food, craft, mediation, gardening, yoga, culture and history. It is trying to give a space to place ourselves now, in real time, abs to inspire the idea that living more slowly is not that difficult. With the balance in each step, and in decision we make, we can create a more sustainable present.

Penguin Men
Duration of film: 02:33 minutes


Every person has a unique development, according to minor and major variations in a life. At the same time, we are kept in classifications, establishing barriers, toward one of a kind. In Penguin men I am dressed in a bathing suit, swimming across Liverpool Street Station, swimming amongst an ocean of men and women all seemingly the same, dressed in black and white in the hope to create a little movement into crowd.

Mediated Life
Duration of film: 02:17 minutes

Jannis Kallinikos:

Summary of research interests and expertise: Professor Kallinikos interests are focused on information growth. Technology and Social Behaviour, Technology, Communication, Organization, Infrastructure. He also is a professor at London School of Economics.

This interview was very much focused on the development of technologies, moving from the mobile phone to the Internet. Kallinikos seems to be grounded in his field and it was more inspiring to be talking to him. We live in a time of great changes and the future is to be unknown. Mobile communication cuts through personal and private life, like a knife, disorientating relationships within the moment. We live in a chaotic world and as a counter balance, maybe we can take a snail, as a little creature to learn from and see things in the time and sometimes slowness that is needed for them to happen. Ironically his phone starts ringing during our conversation. It is inevitable.






I am a Tree
Duration of film: 04:00 minutes


I have a human trunk, wooden arms and walk from the Hampstead Heath to Archway Station. Along this journey I get asked what I am doing, and see a positive bewilderment of my ‘audience’, that daily passes these streets. The meaning of this performance is to change a ‘normal’ day, with a little weird touch, into a day of an encounter. I hope to inspire my surroundings. Doing so, I am a person who is walking casually down the roads, carrying branches over my shoulders, realizing that I am turning into a tree.






Windmills over looking the City
Duration of film: 01:17 minutes


This is a film about the arrangement of my four windmills at the top of Primrose hill, Hampstead Heath. The windmills are over looking the city, turning manically, until they all fall because of the force of the wind. Today, windmills do not fall because of the wind, but their usage has greatly been defeated through advancing industrialization. They are still used as alternative energy sources and survive as a mark in our history. This installation attracted by passers, and pleasantly reminded them of the essential beauty of a windmill standing amongst Nature.
