Broken artefacts or debris are socially perceived as dirt. For me these are other-than-human beings and I work as a guide and mediator to bring them to life. The found matter and I are working in situ or we migrate to new places.
Assembling together we gather an ex-centric presence, unwanted memory and lack of control with imaginary stories for increasing speculative visions in daily life. That co-creation uses a range of visuals media, assemblages, including performative sculpture, objects, performance, situations, walks, storytelling, audio and text. To animate and activate invisible worlds, I read urban public space as the scenography of human traces. With relational aesthetics and sticky, flexible materials, participatory experiences we create a vision of unheard voices to register the traces and compose new beings.
That co-creative process proves the power of otherness and cooperation as a magic tool for real shifts in socio-matter relations.
