My work as an artist and curator is shaped by my life journey. As a child, I traveled the world with my parents, discovering how powerful stories and performances can connect people. Later, I spent 15 years working at sea as a first mate (Captain’s deputy), learning how to balance being alone with working closely with others. These experiences—working with crews from different cultures and taking on big responsibilities—taught me the value of teamwork and creativity.
From 2014 to 2022, I founded and ran The Performance Bar, where I organized over 500 performances. These events were all about experience together with others to create something new. My approach to art mixes playful ideas and humor with careful planning and thought. I’m interested in breaking down social rules and helping people feel a sense of shared ownership in art projects.
Now, I focus on creating mobile art installations that travel to different places. These installations invite people to explore art in new ways, where I encourage equal collaboration as a means of connecting people with each other and their environment. Soon, I will open a new studio called 'Het BorstLab'. Here I can experiment with other artists and visitors. In this space, we’ll blur the lines between research, rehearsal, and performance, exploring art through improvisation and experimentation.
My goal is to create interactions that feel a little awkward but also meaningful or fulfilling. Using humor, creativity, and an eye for social dynamics, I aim to break routines, celebrate the richness of life, and build spaces where people can connect, grow, and create together.










Snack Art
Kunst om je vingers bij af te likken. De hyper realistische snacks van Florian en Ko zijn haast niet van echt te onderscheiden. Een snacktaculaire collectie met onder andere zeer realistische tekeningen hamburgers en frietjes met mayo, ijsjes, designer snack-sieraden, keramieken kroket-sculpturen voor aan de wand en nog veel meer. Cultureel erfgoed gefrituurd in Pop-Art
The Performance Bar
The Performance Bar was succesvol onconventioneel performance-art-initiatief en community die schitterde als een bar. Elk weekend kon je de bar bezoeken en versteld staan hoe artiesten en publiek de bar omtoveren tot een podium. Populair om zijn diversiteit aan bezoekers en culturele ervaringen, geprezen om het vervagen van de grenzen tussen café en theater, bar en podium, artiest en publiek.
