"The questions where does my body end, where does the world begin? is occupying me a lot & leads me to explore the search for spaces & shells (digital, physical and imagined).The performative idea behind is the practice of creating landscapes, & with it, the integration of multiple disciplines. A big part of my artistic interest is additionally, undertaking research in the format of
"cyphering" (from urban cultures, specifically hip hop culture).

​

What are the codes, phylosophies & practices? How can we create alternative formats & communication systems that create a community, beyond digital spaces? How can we adapt the principles of symbiosis in living & working, in our system? What does it mean to question the hierarchy between human, plants, objects & animals, & with it, critically scrutinise the typical western systems of thinking.

 

To reflect these topics I use tools like scores, working with imagination, restriction, memory- tools, physical interviewing etc. The idea of „sampling/looping and remixing“ leads the topics to concrete material & allows arising new questions & understanding.

​

I think I am born in the exact right time period, Everything was already happening, it’s hard to invent something that not yet existed before.But exactly this is the fruitful generation, which has a huge palett to learn, sample, mix & remix. We have a large possibilty of sources, unconventional connections, collaborations, new ideas of combination, contextualization. I guess my generation with it’s quite new way of globalisation trough the internet, have a huge access to collages & we might rethink, recreate every day. The overwhelming is real, but also needs a strenght of decision making & doing. I guess this time asks for simplifing, reducing & refocusing in many ways & layers. A responsability & awareness of our global system, of the environmental crisis, the social crisis & art was never more important than now. If we think and live dance as an artform of participation and digestive system, in order to change things for a better world, climate change and system crisis is no longer a feeling of powerlessnes."
