There is a new fabric and let me weave it into your skins.
I don’t talk your language when I use words, let me infiltrate your body, let me tap into your brain.
They can never get you until you let them.
Wash, wash, riddens.
Think with your body.
Sense your sex.
Smell your life.
(Chorus)
Us, the system - variation I ///

Us, the system - variation I ///
How far are our bodies programmed to re-act to each other in a particular way? Does the choreography of our dance sit in our skins? Are we a score, a circuit diagram, a game instruction?
I investigate into epigenetic, subconscious behaviourisms, memes and rituals, which are also reflected in economical contexts. I look at the Mensch-Maschine and its choreographies, its formation of patterns - bodily relationships and model kits - its normative structures and speech systems, as well as its deficiencies, mutations and errors.
What is your favourite material to work with? How has your use of it evolved throughout your practice?
I am a sucker for materials - I fall in love with new materials on a regular basis - I like contrasting them.
If you weren´t an artist, what would you be doing?
I would be a neuroscientist.
What are your favourite places besides your studio?
The woods, mountain lakes, good galleries.
