The performance consisted of a series of walks in the surroundings of Mostar, with the main rule being to trace new paths in addition to those already outlined by hiking apps. [...]

2024 - 2023 Erratic Wandering Alm Residency ( Germany )
This project invites the participant to perceive the natural surroundings by using an age-old technique of divining, creating their own cartography disconnected from technological devices such as GPS or cell phones. The unconcern with a pre-defined final destination leads the participant to explore the place following their senses, desires and, by chance, physical signals received by the dowsing practice. [...]

The Alm Residency is an artist-run residence in two huts below the Rechelkopf between Waakirchen and Tegernsee, in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. Every autumn for the past seven years, it has invited four to five artists to the century-old "Ochsenhütte" and the "Jagaheisl", which is a little higher up the mountain. The artists live and work there for ten days and are in direct contact with nature on a daily basis. The final result of these projects will be presented in 2024 to a wider audience in an exhibition at Lothringer 13 Halle in Munich.

2023 Clutch Exhibition at the Titanik Gallery (Finland)
Come close – see, sense, trace – the gestures of movement enveloped in the calcium carbonate rings of a Pacific oyster shell, or those embedded in the ridges of a Mil-homens liana. Like the bones and tissues in our own bodies, these matters are living archives of movement; of attachment; of habitat; of freedom to roam; of systems; of intervention; of proximity. They connect and converge, make and unmake, and hold within them millennia of knowledges. What can we learn from spending time with oysters and lianas? [...]

2022 kérapi dzamaapi peeri
Taking the cosmology and artifacts of the Baniwa* peoples as a guideline, the Kérapi twin cups commonly used for meals constitute a double or extension of a ceramic object in an intriguing way that brings with it a symbolism of opposing forces of the same matter or dissolution of body/object. The ambiguous action provides narratives that cross the collective imagination and transport us to another time and space. Does it collide or expand? [...] Read more >>

The triptych Aclive was conceived from a narrative of the poet Petrarca and its climb to Mount Ventoux (1336). "At that time it was not common to climb hills without reason, at almost 2,000 meters of altitude and whipped by the cold and dry mistral, blowing at 100, 200 and 300 km / hour, which, moreover, explains the name from the mount. After many stumbling, he finally reached his goal. The date of the work, more precisely, 1336 april 26, is taken as the initial mark of the modern gaze on the landscape, because Petrarch only climbed by mere curiosity, [...]
