Coming from backgrounds in architecture and photography, both artists explore a wide range of topics in their conceptual and process-based works. The spectrum ranges from multimedia projects that engage with the mechanisms of perception, to the exploration of physical phenomena, technological progress, decay, and personal transformation.
They draw inspiration and base their work on collections and observations from (digital) everyday life.
