I make films and videos, considering 'the cinema' as a space of sensorial ritual and potential communion, but also possible rupture. I have a background in theater / performance and script writing. Currently I'm playing primarily with analog film, digital phone footage, archival records, and fictional writing, enmeshing the 'precious' material of film with the endless digital realm. At times, these multivocal worlds expand beyond the screen and if so they may have a performative element. Often I collaborate with fellow artists, poets, and musicians. I am currently asking questions about fluid fragmentary narratives as escape routes from existing infrastructure. I'm also thinking about ritual as a method of re-enchantment with all that (we) have been violently separated from. I am looking to the tides of the ocean, the flows of converging deltas, both tonic and toxic, as potential guides for other ways of sensing - both theoretically but also materially.

From the Sea to the Clouds to the Soil (screening)
From the Sea to the Clouds to the Soil presents unexpected perspectives to make us (more) aware of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. The group exhibition at Stroom focuses on 'kinship', the ultimate feeling of connection between all forms of life.

"And it appears to us in the dew between the thorns..."
The performance "And it appears to us in the dew between the thorns" is based on a written score that will be shared in loose ritual form on the afternoon of July 25th. The piece will include live reading, objects, and elements of choreographed and improvised movement. Copies of the score will be given to the visitors in order to follow and join the live reading.
