S.O.S. Space-ontology-station



Installation/ performance


S.O.S. rethinks space as a living organism, it is a poetic and symbolic exercise that proposes the illness of the space as a metaphor, revealing the spatial malfunctions and disabilities, its failing organs and metabolism. S.O.S is a semiotic analysis that transposes our understanding of physical illness to ‘illness’ as a property of space: as the visible outcome of the invisible symptoms the spatial organism, partly through human interference, carries within it.

Symptoms such as ‘damaged’, ‘abandoned’, ‘broken’, ‘bruised’, ‘wounded’, ‘forgotten’, are diagnosed through actions and interventions that make the metaphor visible, the moment meaning is produced out of the ordinary. In order to re-write the physical damage of the patient/space, the healing process uses concepts of topography and space surgery.

This research relates the singularity and weakness of humanity to the complex layering of nature’s politics and the impact of human interference within natural processes. It reveals the cataclysm of nature and its natural resistance against humanity.  Using the reference of the cordyceps (a kind of mushroom) as organisms that invade, alter and affect the behavior of the host, this station is a research-in-progress: an animist approach to reading the traces of life in the space.

Copenhagen 2009

Rethinking the city as a space that subjectively can suspend the invariants and metaphors of a living organism.

It's an approach that centers the space as a vulnerable body that needs to be restored, cured, changed.

The narrative content is extended into a poetic and symbolic reference to the illness of a living body.

The site-specific intervention  encounter the illness as a

property of the space: a ruthless appropriation of invisible symptoms on the functionality of organs and parts of a body/space.

The hilling process illustrate concepts of topography and space surgery in order to re-write the physical damage of the patient/space.


Performance in collaboration with Agnese Cornelio


City-Re-think of ill-ness

The city as a body is a metaphor without logic and against order.

It's an approach that centers the space as a vulnerable body that needs to be restored, cured, changed.

The narrative content is extended into a poetic and symbolic reference to the illness of a living body.

This site-specific intervention  encounter the illness as a property of the space: a ruthless appropriation of invisible symptoms on the functionality of organs and parts of a body/sapce.

encounters at the end of the world, 9 tries for infinity

Coached by Stefan Heinrich,  I wanted to put infinity on stage.
A documentary  of Werner Herzog on Antarctica  and renaissance set design techniques were my sources of inspiration. The project began with 9 very simple and rough attempts and ended with a more detailed set design for an imaginary play about Antarctica in La Monnaie / De Munt in Brussels.
