      • „I see“ „with my voice“ beschäftigt sich mit Themen wie Transformation, Gestaltwandel und Materialität durch ein Zusammenspiel von literarischen Fragmenten und entliehenen Stimmen. Das Ergebnis ist eine nicht-lineare, fluide Erzählung, die die flüchtige Natur von Visionen, Träumen und Metamorphosen einfängt.

      • “I see” “with my voice” engages with themes of transformation,
        shapeshifting, and materiality through an interplay of literary
        fragments and borrowed voices, resulting in a non-linear, fluid
        narrative that encapsulates the ephemeral nature of visions,
        dreams, and metamorphoses.
        This project draws substantial inspiration from Alice Notley's
        The Descent of Alette, a transformative odyssey that employs
        rhythmic spoken language to explore continuous change.
        Alongside Notley’s influence, the works of Hildegard von Bingen,
        a 12th-century mystic, and the visionary narratives from the
        biblical book of Ezekiel, serve as foundational texts that inform
        the thematic and structural framework of this piece.
        The text is presented as an audio recording, whispered as a 20 minute loop.
        Visitors can listen to the piece when pressing their ear against the tents walls.

        They are skillfull imitators, but you can tell something is off.
        Moving along this crack between the believable and the not quite right, I like to engage
        with different realities and states of being. The artificial, almost real-life fakeness of their with different realities and states of being. The artificial, almost real-life fakeness of their
