‘The main themes of my practice are the use of outdoor public space and the idea of the playfight – a physical wrestling with culture whose purpose is to create a space for social and political alternatives to surface in safety without the threat of violence. Both Sloterdijk and Zizek recognise this activity as something called kynismus, although rather than defining this as ‘resistance against’, I would prefer to see it as a ‘playfighting with’. Kynic humour and apolis activity are what drive my practice. Above all, it’s a practice that wants to have some fun with its subject.’
