Writer, artist and researcher.

I like to build situations where language can happen otherwise. Where I, we, you become materials. Sometimes a simple instruction might suffice. „Stop saying I.“ When I, you, we converse, co-verse, sometimes something emerges that does not yet, or not fully, exist — in and beyond language.

My recent project, outerwoman, is a thought experiment about a world where procreation no longer depends on a womb. Pregnancy can happen elsewhere — in any body, machine, or thing. In conversation with midwives, biologists and neonatologists, I tried to understand what it once meant to be born. With three performers, I developed a series of speaking and writing scores. The scores help us to estrange ourselves from familiar narratives and to transcend the grammars we cannot help embodying. From this speculative perspective, from outerwomb, we revisit love, parenthood and sexuality. We lend our biographies and bodies to test other possible relations beyond the biological family.

Certain questions keep returning to me: Who is speaking? How do we make each other? How do pain and knowing relate? How can »we« transform? With the choreographer Charlotta Ruth, I train the muscle of questioning and we-speak. Recently, Emma Cocker, Lena Séraphin and I facilitated Convocation III, bringing together more than seventy artists at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Together we founded the Special Interest Group for Language-Based Artistic Research (SIG/SAR). Most recently, I’m back in conversation with Grünewald’s painted Mary, together with the performer Sebastian Bark (She She Pop).

My work grows out of long-term field studies and collaborations. It moves between performing and writing. Books find their form slowly. My novel Sehr was published by Ritter Verlag in 2024. Outerwoman. Ein Handwörterbuch has recently been published by Vexer Verlag.
