artistiek onderzoek - audiovisueel - geluid - lichaam - taal - video

Through video, text and sculpture my practice examines organizational systems that have their roots in modernity and have been imposed far beyond 'the West', to consider their role in forming dominant narratives. My practice traces frictions between systems that aim to cohere speech (such as grammatical orders, law, History, phonology and algorithmic models) and narratives that evade them. Methodologically, my practice is informed by the long-standing research projects I am part of, such as System of Systems, and my encounters with others in the process. 'System of Systems' is an ongoing research project using the format of exhibitions, publications and public programming to examine the use of technology and bureaucracy in European migration processing systems.
