*1972, Lausanne (CH)

On the border of fiction and documentary, the recurring themes of her work turn around human relations: codes and rituals, intimacy, alineation and margin, the balance power within diverse communities, the boundary between dream and reality, questionning the creative process and its transmission.

CURATOR, RESEARCHER, WRITER

Moving between Western, Central, and Eastern Europe and North America

They/he identifies as an interdependent art worker and Eastern European kvir. Their practice as a researcher and curator centers on experiences of displacement and diasporization, the cultural memory of the socialist past and memory loss, as well as their family history shaped by diverse forms of mobility. Their work is informed by postcolonial and queer theory, alongside decolonial approaches, and involves daily efforts in recollection, remembrance, and decolonization.
