Taking notes from cinema, I merge studio constructions and the ephemeral to alter the perception of the present moment.

Theo Michael Work from Scholars in Space (and Smoke from the edge of the Known). “Michael works with the idea of time like a builder and destroyer of space: while in the present we erect thoughtful monuments for posterity, the future condemns them to destruction and the void.
