Artistic practice
My artistic works are based on everyday observations
and their contained moments of corporeality.
The observation itself is a gesture ,
that requires a subsequent process of emotional approximation:
The moving back and forth between my own body, which is
always located in a concrete social and material environment
and narratives of female body images — is translated into performance, text,
photography, drawing, sculptural works and installations.
The fundamental accompanying question is, where the two moments intertwine
and how body-related experience can be collectively experienced.
Performative Working
My performative practice is based on a permanent question about my own relationship to the body.
Moving into materially empty spaces enables an intuitively searching process,
in which movements formulate a getting in touch between the body and its surroundings.
The resulting performances remain partially documented
and so form situations of intimate appropriation of one‘s own body.
Working with textiles
A bed sheet, a muslin cloth, an apron, una faja.
Textiles are a counterpart that always bear traces of possible
or passed corporeality.
In performative concepts, I understand the gestures of washing,
hanging up, letting dry, folding
as artistic practice and transfer them into a concrete exhibition space.
I examine both, the materiality of the textile and the social narratives and body images it contains
and formulate them in a temporary sculpture.
