The distribution of the sensible

Ethical choices alongside interpretation of actions are investigated and seen as potential fields of resistance within political and social parts. Looking toward the interpretation of a way of rethinking how the social community is formed, by focusing on the negotiation of the individual’s status as a judge.
Concerns from G.Agamben, T. W. Adorno, H. Arendt and J. Rancière will be addressed as ways of subjects asserting themselves, looking at how they are recognized in the constitution of communities and inside the realm of economic status; and what this process means as a kind of permanent undercurrent, to the political.
My practice is often based on documentation and seminars where the cores are set to gather visual material and on-site-specific surveys, helping to generate and understand portrayals of local peculiarities and issues. Having engaged subjects as diverse as for my latest work photography Projects: E-scapland and  Unseen struggles shown at Kunstverein - Plushow Mecklenburg in July, my works often reproduce familiar visual signs, arranging them into layered conceptual pieces, inviting the viewer to move into suggestive space of speculation.
Since the inception of my career, I´ve been grounding my practice by given information about human potential and diversities as well as looking towards stereotypes within differentiated communities and organizations.
My vision takes often a critical viewpoint on social and political issues, where I discuss ideologies and stereotyped forms of thinking, rather than giving outfitted answers. I believe my strength relies upon the communicative approach whether in small workshops or extended on-site documentative practices. The delivering of information on emphatic processes enables me to engage with matters authentically promoting the necessary ground for self-determined practices to emerge, and to gain the necessary freedom of learning from experiments.
In my practice I aim to discuss how social rules are staged from autocratic policies, broadening ways of endured resistance inside groups, and disregarding the notions of people’s political and social rights. Alongside technical and theoretical approaches, I believe the every day and the ordinary be a relevant platform to be deepened, allowing imaginative ways of subjectivities to emerge.
I believe my practice contributes to creating open platforms of dialogues, addressing meanings of social codifications and and evolving through an understanding of valuable ways of questioning the social territory.
