introduction
on this page i tried to collect as much as i could of what i’d done in my life; professionally speaking, right? over the years i’ve had different versions of this page prepared for sharing, some of them i actually published. i ended up taking them all down because i was never into the layout, there was always information missing, i thought i could never visualise all the different media i’ve engaged in side by side and have the whole thing come across as elegantly as i’d wanted. this would often bring an existential crisis on, i’d think about starting a graphic design bachelors. and then one day, while i was watching a video on youtube while high on fever, someone told me that creatives experience hardship when they take themselves too seriously. boom, the experience of hearing that reminds me of the scene in which chihiro pulls the bicycle and all the trash and the hook from the giant water spirit blob in spirited away.

The Celestial Body Series is a series of norm-critical non-judgemental non-exclusive creative and experimental principle-based performative practices and works of art engaged in critical thinking of form and construct in order to expose what form or construct hide or otherwise make impossible (e.g. curiosity and study prevented by anticipatory passing of judgement).
The Celestial Body Series has emerged through and by TOGETHER ALONE.
TOGETHER ALONE is a collective that isn’t a collective. TOGETHER ALONE is an atmosphere, it is an embodied experience shared. TOGETHER ALONE is a way of paying attention without judging or more mildly, without anticipating what “paying attention” looks like. TOGETHER ALONE is about dancing without judging or more mildly, without anticipating what “dancing” looks like. TOGETHER ALONE is, in other words, what makes experiencing first possible.
TOGETHER ALONE is the result of the long-term engagement of Eleanor Campbell, Ilse Ghekiere, Matilda Lidberg, Linda Blomqvist, Mira Mutka, Roos van Berkel, Samuel Draper, Manon Santkin, Deirdre Morris, Skye Reynolds, Edvard Stokstad, and Dafne Gian.
