Artist statement

Sometimes

I explore the body as a depository of knowledge, emotions, memory by investigating its relationship to the gender based narratives that dominate it. Through physical durational performances, l

then

aim to generate speculative visceral experiences that transform the perception of the body and identity.

or

I explore the body within the realm of subjectivity and objectivity, by reflecting its existence as medium of communication and interaction, as gender, as construction and sex, as coalescence of mind.

Some

Inspiration comes from speculative philosophy, architecture, gender theory, C. G. Jung’s technologies of the subconscious, mythologies, new materialism, counterculture.

And

other things I have not encountered yet.

I want to

reframe intimate cultural and gender based fictions into an interrogation between body, space and time through des-identification strategies that modify and question the existence of body and spatial performance.

Also

Thinking is spatial. Space is thought. Performance is an act of daydreaming. Daydreaming is a performative act.

Important,

this statement is a fluid, amorphous and ephemeral proclamation of wavering and unruly thought processes in constant movement announced in an already passed past.

Creative production is the dynamic process of transforming imaginative concepts and ideas into tangible artistic and cultural works. At its core, creative production involves the coordination and integration of various elements, such as artistic thinking, strategic planning, budgeting, resource management, collaboration, and execution.

Creative Production

My work intersects production, research, dramaturgy, curation, facilitation and communication – always departing from notions of relationality. By looking at production as performative practice, I am interested in exploring process-based methods and strategies of artistic and cultural co-creation.

»All organizing is science fiction«

As a creative producer, I am interested soft structures, that elastically work with notions of time and tensions, as caring supporters of diverse visions. Departing from an intersectional, queer-feminist approach I am dedicated to the practices of figuring-out and the continuos learning, un-learning and rethink that goes together with producing and organizing.

Trained in Systemic Counceling, I am focused on sustainable and resource oriented approaches to Creative Production.
