《鸟瞰》
这是一顶饰有极乐鸟羽毛的复古头饰，制作于20世纪初——当时，无数鸟类为时尚而牺牲。照片从俯视角度拍摄，仿佛从空中凝视。这种视角唤起了鸟儿曾经的视野，将一件华丽的装饰品转化为消逝的象征。它曾是社会地位的象征，如今则成为幽影般的提醒，被时光所封存。

“Bird’s-Eye View”
A vintage headpiece adorned with the plumage of a Bird of Paradise, made in the early 20th century, when countless birds were sacrificed for fashion. Photographed from above as if seen from the sky. This perspective evokes the bird’s lost vantage point, turning an object of opulence into a symbol of disappearance. Once an accessory of social status, it now endures as a spectral reminder, preserved across time.

《烈焰》
极乐鸟——曾经鲜活，曾被佩戴，如今处于意义悬置的状态。它既非自然，也非装饰，而是一种美学化暴力的证据，是灭绝被渴望的见证。羽毛不再是点缀，而是残留物：一种掠夺性历史的痕迹，嵌入于时尚之中，由科学保存，经展示重新诠释。燃烧的不是物件本身，而是围绕它的沉默。

“Fire”
The Bird of Paradise, once living, once worn, now persists in a state of suspended meaning. Neither natural nor ornamental, it exists as evidence of violence aestheticized, of extinction made desirable. The feathers flare not as decoration, but as residue: a trace of extractive histories embedded in fashion, preserved by science, and reframed by display. What burns is not the object, but the silence around it.

我是一位艺术家、开发者和教育者，出生于前南斯拉夫。我的创作旅程始于匈牙利，随后拓展至新西兰的学术界。我拥有新南威尔士大学跨学科艺术与设计硕士学位，研究重点是通过物理计算实现互动叙事。二十多年来，我一直从事计算机辅助艺术与设计的创作实践，作品涵盖装置艺术、数字媒体与摄影。摄影始终是我艺术实践的核心——既是一种记录工具，也是一种批判性表达媒介。我不断探索摄影在构建叙事、唤起记忆、揭示潜在联系方面的独特能力。在我的职业生涯中，我曾在新西兰、新加坡和美国的多所大学及创意工作室任教与创作，包括新西兰媒体设计学院（Media Design School）、纽约大学提斯克艺术学院亚洲分校（NYU Tisch School of the Arts Asia）以及北卡罗来纳州立大学（North Carolina State University）。目前，我在美国费城的德雷塞尔大学韦斯特法尔媒体艺术与设计学院（Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design）担任教授。
I am an artist, developer, and educator born in the former Yugoslavia. My creative journey began in Hungary and later expanded into academia in New Zealand. I hold a master’s degree in Cross-Disciplinary Art and Design from the University of New South Wales, where I focused on interactive storytelling through physical computing. With over two decades of experience in computer-aided art and design, my work spans installation, digital media, and photography. Photography has remained a constant in my practice—both as a documentary tool and as a medium for critical expression—and I continue to explore its capacity to frame narratives, evoke memory, and reveal unseen connections. Throughout my career, I have worked and taught at universities and studios in New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States, including Media Design School, NYU Tisch School of the Arts Asia, and North Carolina State University. I am currently a professor at Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design in Philadelphia.
