The project was born in response to the passing of an unaccompanied homeless individual in 2018, a person without known family or friends. Her death was cataloged—reduced to data archived in newsrooms and on digital servers. Yet, if this data remains untouched, and her memory fades into obscurity, does her existence persist? She lingers and remains unseen—a paradoxical state of both presence and absence. Within the digital void, she exists as a spectral trace, haunting the silence, waiting to be rediscovered, forever closed in on herself.
Such is the nature of ghosts—the living create them. We resurrect the departed in our own ways, through rituals, texts, and the intangible recipes of memory. We read, we create, we consume, and through this, we invite the dead to inhabit us once more. This project is an assemblage of fragments—an exploration of the processes through which we become haunted by the past.
„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.
My objects are performers, maybe even imposters: frozen in a state of change or mimicry. My objects are performers, maybe even imposters: frozen in a state of change or mimicry.
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
