He often does this in collaboration with Yukiko Shinozaki, another former member of Damaged Goods.[8] With his work, he investigates how conventions influence the experience of and moving in public / private space. His projects are often poetic and humorous interventions in unusual, semi-public environments. Based on existing expectations and perceptions about certain spaces, he is looking, through small interventions and shifts, for unexpected perspectives on a space. In addition, he explores how technology is used or can be used, not only to perceive but also to understand both the human body and the daily environment in a new way.[1] His most frequently performed productions are nothing for something (Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, 2012), Field Works-office (Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, 2010), Field Works-hotel (Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, 2009), you are here (Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, 2008), Some notes are (Heine Avdal, 2006), Box with hole s (Heine Avdal, 2004) and terminal (Heine Avdal, 2001). fieldworksOriginally, Heine Avdals created his own artistic work under the wings of deepblue, a production structure he shared with Yukiko Shinozaki and sound artist Christoph De Boeck.
