ARTISTIC APPROACH
How can I help you

I work at the intersection of video art, documentary material, theatre, and artificial intelligence.


I create custom video artworks, projections, and AI-based visual systems for theatre, exhibitions, and cultural projects — from concept to final installation.

I can develop a project from scratch: shoot original footage, generate visuals with AI, edit the video, design interactive systems, and adapt the work for projection, installation, or live performance.
Skills & Tools

  • Video shooting and editing
  • Video art and video projection for theatre and exhibitions
  • Documentary and hybrid formats
AI & Generative Tools

  • For images: Midjourney, Sora
  • For video: Runway, Kling, Minimax and others
  • For sound: Suno, Eleven Labs
Interactive & Real-Time Systems:

  • Vibe-coding for interactive installations
  • Gesture-based interaction using camera input via TouschDesigner
  • NDI for real-time video streaming
Children bedroom (Scenography Colloquium at DASA museum, 2026)
AI-Driven Media scenography
This project was created as a full media environment for a space at the DASA museum in Dortmund. I developed the complete media layer for an installation built around the image of a children's bedroom — combining textile scenography with generative visuals and sound.

My work included:
  • Curating the work of set design concept
  • AI-generated video projection mapped onto hanging fabric
  • Generative video content for existing museum displays
  • Ambient soundscape composed and produced with AI tools
All media were created using AI, and the entire audiovisual concept was developed and directed by me — from the visual logic to the final integration into the space.

The installation ran for 2 days at a scenography colloquium, reaching an audience of 200 professionals..
On The Solovetsky Islands (staged in Teatr.Doc, 2025)
Video Art and Footage
Projection for Theatre Performance
This work was created as a video projection for a theatre production.
I traveled to the Solovetsky Islands on an expedition and personally shot the video materials on location.

The projection combines:
  • documentary footage from the actual landscape
  • staged material
  • text
  • live video feed used during the performance
This format can be adapted for site-specific performances, exhibitions, and documentary-based installations.
Prime Radiant (online exhibition by Projet Betula, 2025)
AI Interactive Installation
This project is an interactive video installation created through vibe-coding.
The system reacts to hand gestures captured by a camera.
Depending on the movement of the hands:
  • particles change shape and color
  • the visual structure transforms
  • the music, which I composed myself, changes dynamically
Sound and image are directly linked to the viewer’s physical interaction, creating a responsive audiovisual environment.
After A. Chekhov "Want to sleep" (2024)
AI-Generated Cinematic Experiment
This work is a theatrical cinematic experiment inspired by a short story by Anton Chekhov.
The entire visual world was created using Midjourney and Runway, with the main goal of recreating the aesthetic of early 1920s cinema.
The focus was not on literal adaptation, but on atmosphere, rhythm, and cinematic language — treating AI as a tool for staging, scenography, and visual dramaturgy.
If China Was A Town (exhibited at Ground Solyanka Gallery, 2024))
Documentary Video Art
Interview as Techno Clip
This is a documentary video art project based on real interviews that I personally filmed and edited.
The material was re-edited into the form of a music-driven techno video, transforming documentary speech into a rhythmic, audiovisual structure.
The project explores how young people reflect on violence and identity, using documentary material transformed through sound and rhythm.
I am based in Dortmund, Germany.
I am open to expeditions, residencies, and international collaborations across Europe.
