I research environments by performing both as participant and observant. Walking, listening, recording and writing are methods through which I capture and archive. Inspired by ant colonies and architectural structures I aim to compose alternatives for established systems. Examples in which I redefine and convene such matters are, listening walks, performative scores, audio compositions and live generated sound. Research and elaboration carry a micro- macro level complexion. Sound for me, has the ability to arouse concentration and unify people. By organizing moments of interruption, putting things in a new order and inviting the viewer in the work, I questions our involvement in space and the responsibility that this entails.
