Artist Statement
f.e.t.t kollektiv
My work takes many forms.
I write texts, render 3D objects, knit and sew, research, model, print, and rehearse.
Every idea requires a new methodology. Everything is a prototype.
Coming from a theatre background, collaboration with others is essential. But not only that, I also believe it is the only right thing to do in this day and age. Solidarity and collective action are the only things that can help us overcome crises. I truly believe in group intelligence and that art can be a place where we can train to rethink the future together anew.
In recent years, I have worked on 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 the context of social negotiation with a lush, juicy, and at the same time eerie visual language. Now, I feel it is time to stop criticising the old and start participating in the invention of the new.
I find the Jugaad style to be an important concept in this regard. Jugaad is an Indian term that refers to unconventional and improvised solutions to practical problems. I want to work with what is already there to create experiences and empower action — in walk-in theatre installations, in exhibitions, with fictional texts, and through the expressionist power of the human body. It is my practical approach to the fact that we need spaces for mourning, resonance, and transformation when a big part of society is still denying the major shift that is necessary in our relation to the more-than-human world.
