kunstenaar portfolio
I am a multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands. My work engages with human sustainability, human consciousness and perception, explored through art films, video installations, live cinema performances and poetry. Space, corporeality, narratives and film technologies are treated as symbolic tools to create a critical approach to the human condition, with a long-standing interest in Eastern philosophies and practices. My artistic background includes sculpture, painting, drawing, writing, dance and performing arts.

Consequences of Displacement – A two-channel HD synchronised video dance installation
(project in development)
A cinematic, dance film, inspired on the radical consequences of warfare, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrom suffered by refugees and displaced persons. The film presents an ambiguous visual and auditory metaphor that sheds light on notions of vulnerability, and resilience through a stance of peripherality. Corporeality within metaphorical landscape and sound composition are the stones on which an architecture of trauma is built. The footage is shot in PAF (Fr.) A collaboration with composer and photographer, Simone Giacomini.
2014
'The Inhabitant' is a multidisciplinary work where cinema, story telling, and dance are creating one chain of events through which a personage is born.
