Drawing from the cadence of football and horserace narrators, In Situ is an audio intervention that plays with the tropes and choreographies of club culture.
Taking a bird’s eye look at the dance floor, the narrator watches over three characters in the audience and describes their movements with tenacity. The work plays with the dichotomy of spontaneity and predictability of nightlife, and how we move around in it.
In Situ takes over the sound system in between DJ sets, and is experienced in between bouts of dancing.

COLD LINEInteractive sonic sculptureJanuary 2023
The first object of the triad “Tools of Abject Empathy”.
Cold Line invites the viewer to eavesdrop on an evolving soundscape presented in a dialless, numberless Vertushka telephone.
Designed as an evocative object inspired by landline eavesdropping, the work explores the isolating nature of tools of intimacy. Presenting two telephones that have become autonomous, that neither ring nor can be dialled, Cold Line imagines an intimacy abstracted through a tool that has moved into this tool and now exists beyond its persons.
A phone line that roams freely by its own will between connections and conversations, where the only seat to take is that of the intruder.

Playing with the form and tropes of a museum audio guide, Corrections subverts traditional notions of authority and offers a surreal guided walk through the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour, in which disembodied narrators open the gates for affects destabilizing of the distance these spaces require.

Spatial installation
March 2022
"Pentimento" is an immersive installation designed to interact with the architectural features of gallery W139 in Amsterdam. Inspired by the narrow staircase that serves as a primary passage between floors, the work disrupts the circulation with a text piece visible only through a mirror positioned to face the staircase.
The text, written in bright green letters on the steps' risers, reads:
"THIS IS A REFLECTIVE SURFACE BUT YOU CANNOT DRINK FROM IT."
Prompting the visitors to pause as they encounter it, Pentimento causes a further congestion in the already constrained space.
By using an object of vanity as it’s frame, "Pentimento" challenges the immunity of the looker, and suggests an alternative frame.

For a Night is a short documentary that explores the image of a woman as an online entity and its relation to the complex individual it represents. The work investigates the translation of an individual into an online persona that can be gazed at any time of the day messaged at any moment. In her long durational performance, the music and performance artist “Myrwood”, takes a seat in the window of the fashion house Vanderwilt in Amsterdam Centrum, where she will eat, sleep and live for the following five days while being showcased, with her phone number glowing on a red led sign. While being presented to the eyes of the passer-by’s at all hours of the day, she will stay online on numerous dating apps and online platforms all her waking hours. Among the people who message her, she invites those who want to meet up to Sexyland for a secret performance, on the same day and at the same hour.
