Publications and Texts on her work, by Roberto Annecchini, Simonetta Lux, Patrizia Mania, Daina Mattis, Ludovico Pratesi, Arnulf Rohsmann, Domenico Scuderi, Carlo Sini, Gabriel Soucheyre, a.o.
Her artworks are present in private and public collections, like MMKK Museum of Modern Art Carinthia, Cylab Archive, City of Villach, a,o.

She uses different means and media, from experimental photography, video, subjects and objects, environment, sound, to performance, text and programs, including theorization and concept. The iconography is generated from reality. Themes and items often have biographical connotations and treat questions on time, relation, communication, perception, under the perspective of feelings and subjectivity or from the opposite and the contrary.

She also collaborates with personalities from visual art, literature, music, and science, including dialogues and symposia and involves so-called Protagonists, where the individual destiny is put on a larger scale and their contributions are constituent of the artwork itself, like in Anonymus dedicated to Vally or in Dear Cell.

In her “Ambientations”, she includes videos, objects, environments, and performative or participatory acts. The given context and unpredictable elements play a key role in shaping the work’s overall character, even when using the same components. For example, her video loving adapts uniquely across exhibitions like ZKM Karlsruhe, Nuit Blanche Paris,
VIDEOFORMES Hybrid and Digital Arts or at the CYFEST 16: Archive of Feeling. A Journey.

She conceives long-term projects, that develop further, and her artworks are interconnected across her whole lifework of 40 years yet maintaining their independency.
