Born in Halle/Saale, East Germany, 1974

I explore different methodologies – installations and video, writing and talks, workshops and events – to refocus the diverse historical positions of criticality and dissidence within the different state socialisms of the former Eastern bloc and, in particular, the upheavals of 1989/ 1990. Using my own biographical experience as well as other materials and stories that often brush up against the dominant representations of those histories, my works aim at creating constantly reassembling communities of discussion and contestation though which the obscured political potentials of those histories might re-emerge.
