About

Hamburg-based performance and interdisciplinary artist working with the body as a site of memory, sovereignty, and transmission. With a background in psychotherapy, the practice examines trauma, breath as a political act, and the micro-democracy of bodily autonomy.

Artist Statement

The Body

The work begins in the body.

Not as metaphor, but as instrument, site, and witness.

The body remembers what the mind attempts to negotiate.

I work with that memory through breath, silence, strain, repetition, and attention.

Breath and Sovereignty

Sovereignty is a material.

Breath is a line of power.

Stillness is not absence but pressure.

Performance happens in the space between ritual and rupture.

It asks what remains when performance stops performing.

Performance still emphasizing breath, restraint, and presence

Listening and Resistance

My practice moves toward the unpolished and the unguarded, away from trained gesture and explanatory form. The work often appears as endurance, but its engine is listening. Listening as refusal. Listening as discipline.

I am not interested in reenacting wounds.

I am interested in what becomes visible when the wound is no longer protected by performance.

Recent work focuses on silence, domination, submission, sovereignty, and breath. Not as aesthetics, but as conditions the body already understands.

Recent Direction

In 2025, the work has become quieter and more exacting.

Less spectacle. More signal.

Less narrative. More force.

A contained barbarism.

A committed presence.

This is the ground I work from.
