Saying thank you, greeting someone, asking for directions, ordering something in a restaurant, getting in touch with someone... In the thicket of the social forest, linguistic abilities sprout up like mushrooms and continue to spread underground as socially-glued mycelia. The silent, on the other hand not given this breeding ground. The world seems to be made for the loud and talkative. Communicative skills are propagated as the key to success in life. If you cannot participate in this world of talkers world of speakers, you are literally "overlooked". The alphabet shown in the exhibition was born out of speechless invisibility, is growing and will continue to develop as part of my artistic research. The world is not accessible to everyone in the same form. With my alphabet, I am entering a field of experimentation between accessibility and inaccessibility, written and spoken language, the relationship between inside and outside.
"I was asked about my way of working for this exhibition. That's not so easy to answer answer, as I don't have one approach, one material or one way of making art, to make art. On the contrary. I have always tried to remain open and receptive to what the work I'm currently working on says to me and to follow this path. Broadly generalizing, you could say that I work on dwellings in the whole of this word, in safe places or refuges that connect to me in a personal relationship or to me or dwellings that I literally 'put on' in order to bring more outer and inner security into my life. and inner security in life."
