PORTFOLIO

Psychology of Space

Curation of space and resonance at the intersection of performance, body, sound, and architecture.

Psychology of Space is an interdisciplinary platform I founded in 2022. Bringing together artists from different disciplines, it serves as an evolving space for collaboration, experimentation, and collective inquiry through contemporary art.
As an artist and creative director, I develop interdisciplinary, site-specific performances in collaboration with cultural festivals such as the Kultursommerfestival Berlin and UEFA EURO 2024.
I work with space as a medium, creating performances that invite audiences to re-experience space and architecture in new ways. The performances I create together with a modular team of artists establish dialogues between body and sound, dance and architecture, as well as between performers and audience. Space becomes a field of collective presence and resonance.
Each work responds to the architecture and context of its site, offering new visual languages and questioning hierarchies. Temporary connections, intimacy, and moments of collective resonance emerge.

My process-oriented projects weave together diverse artistic practices and open spaces for participation and shared experience with the intention to make contemporary dance, sound art, and electronic composition accessible to a broader audience in urban public spaces.

Collaborations include Kulturprojekte Berlin, the Berlin Senate, Teufelsberg Berlin, and UEFA EURO 2024.

Performance
ALCHEMY PART I & II _ Subversive Tenderness


Performance 2023 · Dance, Spatial Pracices, Sound
Radar Station Teufelsberg, Berlin · Kultursommerfestival 2023 · 
Executive Producer, creative director and curation
ALCHEMY PART I & II  is a site-specific, modular performance designed to dissolve traditional boundaries between audience and stage in a dynamic, fragmented performance situation. The work explores intersectionality, vulnerability, and identity. Body, clothing, and space are placed in relation to one another as fragile social architecture. Fashion and textiles become part of a visual narrative about intimacy and belonging.
The project was announced in Berliner Zeitung newspaper with an interview, all slots were sold out within 30 minutes. Developed as an experimental format, the piece is grounded in inclusive, large-scale collaboration, centering and amplifying diverse artistic perspectives. Shaped by the architectural and historical context of its site, each iteration creates cohesive spaces for social interaction and a shared, collective vision.

Performance
THE ART OF PLAY: CONCRETE BALLET


Performance 2024 · Live Video, Dance, Sound
Brandenburg Gate, Berlin · For the cultural festival of UEFA EURO 2024 · Executive Producer, creative director and curation
THE ART OF PLAY: CONCRETE BALLET is site-specific, large-scale video performance that combines dance, sound, and architecture into a walk-in setting. The work challenges hierarchies and creates a temporary reimagining of the iconic monument in a public viewing.  Dance and sound performance are part of an artistic renegotiation of participation in public space.By transforming iconic public spaces such as the Brandenburg Gate into temporary laboratories of experimentation, the performances invite audiences to reconsider how space is inhabited, shared, and constructed. 
1,600 visitors and guests attended the performance, which was broadcasted live on Straße des 17 Juni.

Costume Design 

Research-based cinematic visual storytelling for feature films, short films, and video collages—combining visual narration with experience in coordination and on-set supervision.

Historical feature film projects include Effi Briest and Hilde, alongside video collages and short film works developed for the Humboldt Forum, in collaboration with Humboldt University of Berlin, Maxim Gorki Theater / Gorki Forum, and the Allianz Foundation.

I hold an M.A. in Industrial and Fashion Design from the Berlin University of the Arts (2014). My studies focused on fashion and textile design, alongside experimental material development—exploring structure, surface, and pattern. Pieces have been presented at Bikini Berlin, Designtransfer Berlin and University of Arts Berlin.






Visual Art

My analogue drawings and collages explore space, body, and texture through layered, material-based compositions. Selected clients include Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, German Press Days Hamburg, and Herlitz.
