I am based in Rotterdam. My practice incorporates the performative and the fictive to explore the body. Central to my practice is layering fragments from articles, journals, books, gossip and conversations that saturate the everyday with my own writing to create scripts. The scripts are the basis for spoken performances, audios, and installations, interested in how personal and collective performances and narratives take shape. Elements from my surroundings, from political statements, gestures, emotions, intimacy and social relations, accumulate in my works to trace bodily adjustments to ordinary dramas.

I have showed works at WET Rotterdam, Available and the Rat, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, De Appel, Charlotte Street Foundation, National Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Rijeka, Salonul de Proiecte, tranzit.ro/ Cluj. I have an MFA from Piet Zwart Institute.
