As a writer and researcher, I explore how art and visual culture engage with ecological and social realities. My current research, in collaboration with Platform BK (2025), explores collective artistic practices in the Netherlands. I have a background in philosophy and documentary photography, I am the recipient of the 2023 C/O Berlin Talent Award in Theory, and I am member of Level Five. [04/2025]
I make videos on commission.
