I am a performance, interdisciplinary artist and writer studying 4th year in BEAR Fine Arts Program at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem.
My work is presented primarily through performance, writing, drawing and installation where I explore the notion of humanity as political beings and its power structures, material conditions, urban landscapes, microeconomies, alienation and cultural hegemonies. The blend of materialist phenomenology and DIY aesthetics allows me to confront theory and praxis that hold realities overshadowed under economical and political contradictions. My practice departs from autoethnographic research, scavenging, archiving, cultural archaeology and employs different dialectical theatre methods, anti-communicative and non-linear processes including listing, notetaking, journaling and continuous writing.
