As a member of the Libby Sacer Foundation, the project Passport Please was developed during the 6 month residency in the space of Cheap Art at Exarchia, Athens. Inspired by Libby Sacer (a collectively constructed identity) the group opened up a dialogue organizing a series of events (public talks, discussions, art shows, performances) concerning the boundaries/constraints of body, space and identity, the ideological mechanisms that define them, and the concept of Mediation in art and public life. For a description of all the events please see:

"Where is my shadow" was a project researching connections between shopping malls, science fiction, Second Life (massively multiplayer online game) and space colonies, funded by the Scottish Arts Council. As part of that project I organized a screening in a space that I arranged especially for that (Arch 14, Eastvale place, Studio Warehouse, Glasgow), made an online publication http://issuu.com/whereismyshadow/docs/w.i.m.s and had my avatar send postcards and impressions from Second Life via email. The work produced for my solo show under the same title, commissioned by Market Gallery (Glasgow) was connected to that research.
