His practice explores contemporary forms of political, social and architectural collapse, and their intimate resonances. Through film and installation, he develops hybrid devices combining fiction, documentary and archives.

His works have also been shown at the Istanbul Biennial (TR), the Fondation Cartier (FR), Visions du Réel (CH), the Thessaloniki Biennial (GR) and DocLisboa (PT).
