About this artwork
The Body as a Ledger
This sculptural-photographic work archives a neurological episode as forensic evidence. Using clinical staging—neutral light, grids, anonymizing textiles—the body becomes both specimen and witness.
Episode №[119] / [2013] documents an attack from [2013], cataloging presence against erasure. The series confronts a paradox: chronic pain is often invalidated despite rigorous documentation. Here, each event becomes a ledger entry—a… “counter-forensic” act that asserts bodily truth beyond institutional doubt.
Beyond documentation, this project is about presence. It asks what it means to bear witness to one's own fragility and to assert: I was here. This happened. This body is the proof.

Conceptual Artist | Creator of the Transaction Art Universe
My practice interrogates the fragile architectures of identity, memory, and value in a hyper-surveilled world. At its core lies the Transaction Art Universe (2012–Present)—an evolving system where art emerges from bureaucratic seams, digital fractures, and anonymized collective acts.
Key Pillars:
▸ Anonymity as Resistance
3,214+ collaborators surrender authorship under binding NDAs, creating a hive of contested narratives.
▸ The Aesthetics of Failure
Glitches, erased data, and legal voids are not metaphors—they are the medium.
▸ Art as Legal Fiction
Each piece exists as both artifact and contract, challenging ownership’s boundaries.
For Collectors:
Acquiring a Transaction Art work means investing in a living system. Whether a notarized glitch-print, performance relic, or cryptographic document, you become custodian of an ongoing experiment where art and transaction collapse into one.
