2. "Kiss-You-Through-The-Phone", exhibition held at Paloma PresentsS in Zürich, Switzerand, February 2010:

"It can be stated that culture is a means of converting the impact of such energies as love, sex or agression. This implies that it is these specific energies that both introduce the incentive to make art, and authorise critique towards a method of artistic production by the subjective level of their presence in the artistic work. Nonetheless, a direct articulation of these energies as topic remains too awkwardly intimate and thus commonly ends up approximating mostly superficial levels. The exhibition Kiss-You-Through-The-Phone finds itself on the verge of such banalities with its emphasis on the Long Distance Relationship as a phenomenon, underlining the laborious maintenance of love that takes place regardless of distance in both space and time, supported by as many media, toold and channels as possible. The Long Distance Relationship is carried by devotion, becoming a project that seeks to sustain a continuous narrative whilst accepting fragmentation."
