His art practice involves an investigation into the philosophies, reasons and methods of individuals and communities imagining the future. Charged with a conceptual drive, this research is then adapted into objects, images, installations, situations or texts. His current project, The Lonely Ones, is an independent observatory that looks at the representation of imposed solitude on individuals and communities of people. The observatory identifies specific examples in the fields of art, film, literature, and other diverse forms while performing a multitude of reflections on the selection. It is the basis for a novel due in 2013. The novel is tentatively entitled Prospectus. He has developed solo exhibitions at Rossi & Rossi (London), SOTA Gallery (Singapore), NUS Museum (Singapore), Kunstverein Milan (Milan), Motive Gallery (Amsterdam), Hermes Third Floor (Singapore), Vitamin Creative Space (Guangzhou), Art In General (New York), Project Arts Centre (Dublin), Ellen de Bruijne Projects (Amsterdam), The Substation (Singapore), Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), Sparwasser HQ (Berlin).
