Perspectives: I'm interested how conditions operate on bodies that have a direct effect on modes of understanding and generating senses of truths. Observing these structures and their impact on the domestication of our bodies in daily-life is a main interests of mine. Identifying parameters in order to practice the imagination of alternatives and considering fiction as possibility. I do this through shifting ways of looking, perceiving, and attending; from the writer, the doer, the speaker, the body, the image, the spectator, the receiver. In such political moments, I find the exercise of such (imaginary) freedoms of vital importance.
Wandering, (finding, ''vacationing'', becoming absorbed...): I glean and develop interests through these strategies; shifting pre-determined concerns and to allow for other questions to emerge. To open spaces for re-considering non-human agents in our ecosystems. Their (nha) catalyzing potential is found through (faux?) listening. This is to counter capitalist market-oriented logics invading creative processes producing forceful gestures onto work.
Edges: It is of importance for me to consider that the work isn't separate from the conditions of work.
Cracks, leaks and spills: Performance is temporary altering of social systems; a place of fictionalizing narratives. Performance is a myriad of shape-shifts, erosions, fugues, osmosis, fractals... Considering the political potential of performance is of vital importance as the manifestation of encounters or clashes (amongst materials, people, weather….) which activate emergences. Its plurality is a crucial instrument to democracy. It holds power in its occurrence.
Currently, I am occupied working in non-artistic labor for financial support. This makes me busy with making space and time (like the ripping of a seem) in my personal life which can allow for potential, through artistic practices which I experience as a a diversification of life.
Support and continuity: I strongly value supporting as a practice as well as fostering continuous practices, spending long periods of time with people, ideas, thoughts and situations. Whether in a collaboration or supporting friendship, I find fostering, hosting and something something to end here.
