(she/they) (Austria; lives and works between Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria) is an artist, performer and graphic designer.
Their practice is rooted in theory, data and historical inquiry, often resulting in new methods of communication. In their work, they frequently draw from existing archives and libraries, attempting to re-evaluate and shift how we relate to knowledge and its dissemination. They approach information with a strong emphasis on post-human and feminist perspectives, aiming to explore the potential of design in channeling, mediating and reshaping narratives.
In 2024, together with Marie Hugny, they initiated a self publishing practice entitled hapax press – a publication format embodying singularity and poetic exploration inviting artists, writers and enthusiasts to participate. Besides, they engage in composition and sound, based around the organ, the voice and embodied research.
Previous projects take the form of books, publications, websites, sound experimentation and workshops among others.
Selected collaborations and clients:
