Part of the solo exhibition 'Secretly, we thirst for reality'

"My misery comes from my great talent to wear too many masks too well"
- Hermann Hesse
The subject of identity is explored in the film work entitled Mutare Animam. In the film a figure, who is clearly tormented, climbs and crawls through various landscapes. His identity is concealed as he wears a mask which you sense allows him the freedom to act on his baser instincts. The film is inspired by the archetypes in Carl Jung's writings.
