I am a performance maker, an excellent messy eater and a Fish-friendly visual artist working within the mediums of live art, body-based performance and installation. I love disturbing people, plotting evil plans against humanity, making unusual immersive theatrical experiences and creating unsettling situations that could open new channels of possibilities in our over-controlled lives.

 

I am interested in making work that is urgent to me and my generation and reflects the necessity of deconstructing gender, sexuality and hierarchical structures. I am particularly interested in unpacking the way in which digital and mediated platforms have become a playground to control our sexual desires, identities and expectations and the impact that this has on the female body.

 

I am very inspired by post-porn artistic practices, sex-positive feminists and vandalic street incursions against corporate adverts polluting our visual realms. I use a lot of materials in my performative explorations such as food, trash and Fish. There is always a lot of Fish. Fish is great. We should all connect more with our inner Fish.

 

In my work, I aim to create grotesque, satirical and disgusting visuals that disturb the viewers and invite them to challenge their prejudices. I also really love dark humour. Dark humour really turns me on because it can generate that magic moment where a ''spectator'' is unsure whether to laugh, cry, feel offended or fulfilled and I think that only such a controversial atmosphere can express our post-apocalyptic generational despair. And sometimes it might even hide a positive message. How nice.
