Artist Statement
f.e.t.t kollektiv
Coming from a background in theatre, I have learned to place the body and its expression at the center of my work. It is reconstructed, it is present and absent, its gaze is examined, it performs, or it is questioned through technology.
I use my own body as both instrument and material, while also studying the presence of the audience’s bodies.
Thus, the media I work with are diverse. I write texts, render 3D objects, knit and sew, research, model, print, and rehearse.
Collaboration is often the foundation. Through fe.t.t., a collective of multidisciplinary artists from theatre, the humanities, and autonomous DIY cultures, I have gained much inspiration and the insight that together we can work in ways that are larger, more complex, more diverse, and more intelligent.
We create immersive walks exploring the effects of digital storytelling cultures on our lives. In recent years, I have continued to investigate the effects of digitality on our bodies and, during my studies in London, on ecological tipping points.
My goal has always been to bring the unpleasant realities of our time into spaces of social negotiation. I do not wish to speak about the world objectively, but to continually include my own position within it. I want to hold ambivalence like asking how my body impacts the world and how, at the same time, it is shaped and controlled from the outside.

The outcomes of these investigations often take the form of poetic clusters of themes.
The visual vocabulary is a lush, juicy, and at the same time eerie spatial language.
It is a joyful freedom in recombining reality, in breaking free from categories of good and evil, organic and artificial, human and non-human.

The ecological crisis, alongside war and technofascism, makes it clearer than ever that the old world is dying. I believe in another path than the one leading into techno-dystopia, and I believe that radical visual storytelling can be an important instrument for finding new forms of hope.
I find the Jugaad style to be an important concept in this regard. Jugaad is an Indian term referring to unconventional and improvised solutions to practical problems.
It captures both my aesthetic and my methodology in a single word.
I want to work with what already exists — to create experiences and to empower action: in walk-in theatre installations, in exhibitions, through fictional texts, and through the expressionist power of the human body.
