ABOUT THE ARTIST AND HER WORK

My interest delve in the interaction between visual and performing arts, such as theatre and dance.

I work in hybrid projects that explore and question the unity between content, medium, context and narrative display in an intuitive praxis.

Often the themes of my work revolve around notions of reality, perception and behavior. During the working process and along its outcomes I try to figure out how we perceive reality and how we act upon that. I'm interested in one's emotional being and in the conversion of one's inner into representational forms. While I speculate on constructing dramaturgical entities, I refer to individual and communal conducts as well as their contexts.

During the last years I have been directing video and dance projects and worked in several theatre and dance productions as a video artist. Further I have performed as a dancer and exhibit my work in a gallery context.

I'm both fascinated and disturbed by humans. I'm interested in how the impulses take form in words and gestures and how they succeed or fail in doing this. I like to see people shaking their meat. Moving flesh is life. Can such a statements be made based on uncertain feelings? I like to work, a bit like those donkeys following a carrot.
