The video image with its essential component sound is explored&#13;<br \/>\nusing different approaches of discourse analysis and models of language&#13;<br \/>\nas a semantic and semiotic system. The exact conceptual frame of his&#13;<br \/>\nworks leads to precise formal image and sound structures as well as to&#13;<br \/>\na complex circuit of mutual re-definitions: immaterial, futile systems&#13;<br \/>\nof displacement, fusion, detachments of constituents of meaning. His&#13;<br \/>\ninquiries into linguistics and consciousness offer resonant&#13;<br \/>\nphilosophical and poetic insights, as he explores the formal&#13;<br \/>\nconjunctions of electronic visual and audio elements with the body and&#13;<br \/>\nthe self.&#8221; [2]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exhibition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Exhibitions of his work have been presented at museums and institutions&#13;<br \/>\nworldwide, including solo exhibitions at the Fondation Cartier pour&#13;<br \/>\nl\u2019art contemporain, Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Centre&#13;<br \/>\nGeorges Pompidou, Paris; Guggenheim Museum SoHo, New York; Museum f\u00fcr&#13;<br \/>\nGegenwartskunst, Basel; Museu d\u2019Art Contemporani, Barcelona; and&#13;<br \/>\nKunstmuseum Wolfsburg, among others.
