In july I was involved in the project 'Maximum Service at the Church of Beer' during Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark. Choreographer Jeremy Wade invited me, together with artist Anne Sophie Malmberg to collaborate on costumes for the 4-days ongoing open air performance; 'Maximum Service'. He conceived this performative and participatory installation together with the architects of Studio Umschichten from Stuttgart and the artistic team of MS Dockville Kunstcamp from Hamburg, and he performed together with his friend and colleague Miguel Gutierrez from New York.

Costumes for 'TRUE BALLS', a performance by Sheena McGrandles. Developed and premiered at K3 - Zentrum für Choreographie | Tanzplan Hamburg, march 2013. Performed by and co-created with Anna Nowicka.

From the program: "TRUE BALLS is a body carried by two pairs of double-jointed legs that finish at the pelvis, sometimes it's headless, sometimes it's a mess of parts that have the hallmarks of a tragedy. (...) True Balls is an artistic research project that combines both a performative and visual practice, attempting to queer the body, drain it from recognition and push it toward absurdity. (...)"

AUGURY OF AWRY SKY

“I have written things from the sky,
from the sky of the mind, the top of desires, the haven of dreams, from above the memories. the surface of deceit. Sparkling of stars.
I'm anywhere. Between torpor and duties, I have not learned how to give words to issues of feeling.

I land on a corner, making prayers to objects, making stuff, being a poet of the invisible, writing illegible words, building altars in order to proceed and abandon.

sometimes I imagine my fingertips able to touch the soft fur of wills existing in people. once touching flesh, there is time to expand in this tangle of hair. I bow in my knees. I am investigating the silences, not knowing quite well what to do, trusting on sweat. Giving leashes to birds, seeing shadows on chests, leaving the body shed.

Wishes of a sense bore me, I enjoy better all that permeates messy on my being, I am dumb for any subjects. I silently unlearn, browsing the eyes I take notes with my skin.

Stay, holding stimuli meetings, building each quiet cry spiked in the stomach and laughter of tits. I have security of nothing, I keep on risking, risk everything with the chalk that insanity gave in it's fiction. Generating God. Throwing stones into a river, digging into waste, embracing, shaking densities, documenting wind, waiting to be a kite, or a piece of cloud. 

10/11/'12 - 6:51 flight departure time - 2:54 hours from arrival - 11.582,4 meters high“
