I am interested in the space between reality and fiction and making experiments with surreal fragments in supposed real scenarios. My main fields of activity are moving image and photography. I am keen to get involved in bigger projects combining animation and film.
As a child of a German mother and a Russian father I was born in Riga (Latvia) before my family moved to Germany. I am currently living in London and have been here for two years.

An animation I made for Uni. Everything is made in After Effects without Plugins.
The idea is based on a kind of parody of the former Socialist building style. They used to build whole cities where each house was designed identically to create cheap housing for workers. These ‘blocks’ were so similar that in Soviet times, you could easily wake up at a friends place in another city and still feel like you are in your flat. Even the furniture was the same.
