By transforming and manipulating various sources of archival material, his work reflects upon the notion of proximity in contemporary media.

The director considers film as "a phallic conquerer that, folding in on itself, now flaccid deus ex machina, observes itself from the inside like a lysergic membrane that slowly founders between the folds of its material."

His most recent collaborations include the film editing for Aldo Tambellini's solo exhibition Black Matters at ZKM Karlsruhe, Germany, and he is the artist for Chicago Film Archives' 2018 Media Mixer.

He is in charge of programming at Fracto Experimental Film Encounter held yearly at Kunsthaus Acud, in the heart of Berlin.
