THIS MEANS YOU- Nazism, the Holocaust, and the Resistance

Abstract
As we enter the 21st century, and history recedes into itself, at the
lightning speed that information travels, I have encountered a fascination
with extending the moment of history. My installations speak to dramatic
events and turning points in history and challenge the viewer to engage
in the work as active and thinking participants. Cinematic in scale and
epic in character, the recent installations allude to Richard Wagner's
concept of the "Gesamtkunstwerk (Total Work Of Art)" and Walter
Benjamin's notion of the "Trauerarbeit (Work of Mourning)."
