Musician, organizer and curator based in Berlin, Germany.

My main point of interest in art and curation is the pivot between individuality and citizenship, solitude and community. As an artist, my work specifically addresses the awareness of our environment and the implication of our personal actions / reactions on our direct surroundings.

My sound art practice with plants is based on scientific research conducted in the last decade on the complexity and creativeness of the vegetal world. Concretely, it consists of plants being used as a crucial parts of self-built synths, so that they shape the frequencies of each oscillator. Because of physiological reactions, they modulate the sound throughout the live performances.

As a curator, I believe that art, in relation to societal matters, creates a territory where the complex interactions of communal living are put forward in an intelligible way to be questioned or discussed on a wide scale. My curatorial work mainly involves experimental art and improvised music. These two genres are closely linked to each other. They are not aesthetic, but rather an artistic act of interrogation and exploration. The inherent precariousness and instability of those artistic practices in live situation creates a bond, as well as a tension, between the performer and the audience, that both links and separate them.
