The video work “…Mulder it’s me.” was created as an atmospheric and conceptual component for an exhibition of my visual art. In recent years, I have been exploring, through my artistic practice, the question of whether we are alone in the universe – and, more importantly, what this question reveals about ourselves. The focus is not on speculative answers, but on the cultural, political, and psychological mechanisms that cluster around this theme: fear of the unknown, projection, control over narratives, and the deliberate shaping of perception.

The idea of extraterrestrial life functions in this work as a mirror of societal structures: How do we deal with the unknown? How are fear constructs created? What role do state narratives, secrecy, misinformation, or distraction play as tools of power? And what happens when existential questions – hope, threat, future – are deliberately manipulated? The further the gaze reaches into the cosmos, the more clearly human behavior, control, powerlessness, and collective imagination come into focus.

The video itself is not a narrative film but a spatial and atmospheric work that sets the tone for the exhibition. It acts as a connecting element between painting, illustration, and installation, creating a perceptual space where image, movement, sound, and meaning interact. Film here is not illustrative, but an independent artistic medium capable of conveying moods, questions, and tensions.
