The House, The Wings, The Balcony, The Dissidents & The Shadow that Left the Logic of its Own Existence

My practice is mainly concerned with minor politics, processes of decolonization, and dissident methods. I work through fiction, storytelling, performative writing and writing-as-making. I situate my artistic practice, mainly in the field of writing architecture and critical fiction, where writing is not writing about architecture, but making it. In my work, fiction is a political, critical and transformative practice; it is a project of making with political ramifications that questions the dominant fiction of police order. Critical fiction opens up scientific academic writing to multiple voices, imagination, minor, unfamiliar worlds and subjugated voices. In this way, I work with collective fiction that is writing with others, and towards construction of a “plural I” that does not reduce the many voices to one, but complicates one’s own voice by including the voices of others. In the development of dissident methods of writing, I have been experimenting with writing with unwelcome co-authors, as well as inventing a dissident language to tell the stories that we can’t tell.

I situate my writing practices in troubled sites and complicated contexts. I construct characters who critically inhabit those sites and study forms of performative writing through their performances. Besides the performative aspects, I also work with materiality of writing. I am specifically interested in exploring forms of short story and flash fiction and investigating how such forms could be materialized through projects of making and performing. In my current artistic research, where I investigate questions of decolonization in an ecological era, I experiment with various forms of storytelling and making – what I have called storyteller-things.
