His collaboration with Alexander Kluge has been shown at the Museum Folkwang in Essen, lit.Cologne, Belvedere 21 in Vienna, and the Venice Biennale. His solo installation Begone Dull Care, composed of musical instruments and image sequences generated by gaming cameras, was shown at the Volksbühne’s Grüner Salon in 2018.
