TUSCH X PINK VALLEYVilla Heike
Freienwalder Str.17 13055 Berlin
premiere: July 4th, 2024 6pm
show dates: July 5th, 2024 10am/ 2pm
July 5th, 2024 2pm/ 6pm
An interactive performance where I was invited to create textiles, headpieces and costumes inspired by microrganism worlds, in the natural archetypes of Neutron, Electron, Proton orbiting performers representing Science, The Universe, Alien Life, Fungi, Fauna and Dark Matter. I worked with a range of printed fabrics, made to glow under changing lighting circumstances. Theses flexible garments were then paired with hand-made and embellished capes, accessories and suitable headpieces.
“Getting lost Finding something” is a TUSCH co-production in cooperation with Pink Valley, supported by the Fonds Soziokultur, the Heidehofstiftung and the Stiftung Berliner Sparkasse
Prodution Synopsis:
Everything in this world and in the universe is connected, but can we feel it? Together with the performance collective Pink Valley and a group of young people, we want to transform “connection”, “network” and “belonging” into a multisensory experience for the audience: How do we find, feel and experience connection and relationships between places, times and people? What do we feel when we look at the world from a little more distance? Or zoom in on the microorganism perspective? The aim of our joint creative research is to produce an interactive video and sound performance with live elements in which we deal with central aspects of interconnectivity, such as “seeing”, “feeling” and “practicing”, in terms of content, aesthetics, science and performance.
With: Pink Valley and students of the Alexander Pushkin High School

VanCleef & Arpels
LICHTENGARTENArt Workshop
event date: April 26th, 2024
Held at LichtenGarten Studio & Gallery, this workshop consisted of two groups of approximately 10 participants each from VanCleef & Arpels Paris. In each grouping, I guided the participants through the 2D paper illustration process, while playfully exploring this Deep Sea illustration in a variation colors, made to mix & match to their desired combinations. The creative process was meditative as a cacophony of gently layered artworks were formed, imbued with personality and garnished with playful details each composer saw fit.

Prada patrons were able to view my creative process, only formally held to the confines of my art studio; assembling my signature rose, lily and chrysanthemums, with a garnish of forget-me-nots adhired to textured pink and flat white card backdrops, before being spritzed with perfume essence and placed in a gift box or envelope for safe keeping.

Paper Crafted Pop-up Cards
Event date: September 13th, 2019
For the opening of Light Artist Susanne Rottenbacher‘s exhibition Lily Pond at the Swarovski Kristallwelten in Innsbruck, Austria, I designed, developed and produced fifty pop-up cards exposing a miniature rendition the artist’s lily flower and garnishing lily pads against the galleries mirrored arches. Working closely with Susanne’s preferred shapes and iconic iridescent foil, I used a thin PVC that mimicked the clear vinyl glass of the actual life sized art installation. Each card finished with Swarovski crystals and fastened with a satin ribbon bow to be placed on plates as a memorable keepsake for guests of an illuminating evening.
