Welcome in this digital version of my studio!
It is not easy to find a characteristic photo of me working in my studio, as my studio rather is the place of an idea in its becoming or an installative test for sound- or performative pieces. Often, you only see me sitting in front of my computer. That is why I picked some impressions how my workplace looks like at different times. I hope you can get somewhat of an idea of the space.
My work spans from performance, installation, objects and books to film and video, and is usually kindled by self-written or adapted texts. It is a proposal of time-based or spatial situations that invite for re-reading one´s relationships with objects and bodies; how we dwell, spend our time and share the space with others. For some of my recent works I have exchanged the studio for the street to lay out common grounds with inhabitants of areas affected by city development.
Please feel also warmly invited to visit the local version of my studio as well – or if you prefer, also outside of the Borgerstraat, as I often conduct my work in other places than my studio.

Looking forward to meet you!

Bio
I studied at Kunstakademie Münster and University of Art Braunschweig and hold an MA Fine Art degree from the Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam. A substantial part of my practice is working collectively, as founding member of Sils Projects (2010-2014), programmer for Suburban Video Lounge (2011-2014), part of Borgerstraat publication collective (2015-2019) and 004-collective (2015-ongoing). I have been curating exhibitions and screenings for a.o. the artist-run space OnArte (CH) and most recently, in 2021, I started compiling a series of exhibitions for the Goethe-Institut Rotterdam together with Marco Douma, called "Passages en Passant".
