Biografia

My work as an artist and writer is primarily concerned with apparatuses of mobility within aporetic junctures, the aesthetics of ‘failure’, and the lack of an originary feminine. Within that I am further interested in ‘in-between’ spaces (both in a formal and conceptual sense), the everyday and the overlooked, low-tech and “DIY” systems and strategies as apparatuses of mobility. In such notion of mobility (especially in relation to aporias) is the possibility of a form of a resistance, however subtle, for instance creating or inciting a carved-out space in-between as a moment of contemplation in what are otherwise over-performed spaces of control.

Memory, and in particular the notion of a "beyond memory" is an aporetic juncture. On the one hand, memory is an ideal example of the possibility of impossibility, in the sense that memory is an amalgamation, a compilation and an estimation, none of which ever come to pass as such. The suggestion to go "beyond memory" further complicates the notion yet at the same time mobilizes it. To go "beyond" anything is to assume a border yet in memory there is a clear loss of border(s) and rather a sense of the unfixed, the ever-moving, in-between transience.
