“There’s four sides to every story, if these walls could talk, they’d probably still ignore me.” (Viktor Vaughn)

As a visual artist and cultural and literary scholar my practice is situated between text, image and space. It brings together painting, writing, film, performance and exhibition-making, often exploring how artistic works become social and cultural processes. Language, in its many forms, often serves as both a point of departure and a point of return. My work reflects on the conditions in which images, narratives and forms of knowledge are produced, circulated and encountered.
A central concern of my practice is the body’s situated presence and movement in space. I understand artistic production as embodied, spatially conditioned and relational: the body is not only the site from which I work, but also a medium through which works are encountered, perceived and understood. My works unfold between concrete, urban and rural spaces, exhibition spaces and imaginary spaces, where physical, pictorial and textual forms overlap and shape one another.
My current PhD project in artistic research critically examines UNESCO’s initiatives to produce and disseminate colour reproductions of artworks through travelling exhibitions worldwide after 1946. Combining artistic and scholarly methods, the project investigates the ideological, aesthetic and cultural implications of reproduction, exhibition-making and global knowledge production. It also brings these questions into relation with my engagement with family history and with the UNESCO idea of a “family of man”: the ambivalent notion of a universal human family shaped by the post-war desire for global understanding and solidarity.
My artistic practice, (academic) research and teaching are closely intertwined. I develop and examine these questions in dialogue with students, collaborators and audiences through seminars, exhibitions and shared research processes. I understand teaching not as a separate field, but as an important part of my artistic and scholarly practice: a space in which knowledge is produced collectively, tested through forms and made perceptible. Methodological curiosity, attention to language and embodied experience, and a commitment to exchange shape my ongoing, “un/disciplined” practice.
I currently live and work in Halle (Saale) and Berlin.
