„Children believe what we tell them. They have complete faith in us. They believe that a rose plucked from a garden can bring drama to a family.
They believe that the hands of a human beast will smoke when he kills a victim, and that this beast will be shamed when confronted by a young girl.“

Jean Cocteau, La Belle et La Bête 1946

Ammonite Performance at Galerie Esthete, 2023

As one of the first species to populate earth and have hardly evolved since. Symbolically, snails preserve the history of our planet. They will outlive us humans, just as ammonites have outlived many ephemeral things around them.

A seemingly small space of a snail shell growing, teaching reciprocal ways of construction. Interpreted through ratan and paper-maché the Ammonite sculpture was the center of a live performance shown at Mexico City Art Week 2023.

The piece substantiates the changes menkind goes through during a lifetime. It showed the formation of bonds and conflicts that cause physical as well as spiritual union - not only with others, but also within ourselves.

El Árbol Performance at Delab Mexico City, 2023

The piece is about a forest spirit that encounters the fragility of nature. In an impulsive interaction with a tree spirit, it learns not to possess immovable beauty and to treat it with compassion.

Isabella Rudzki For CDMX ART WEEK 2023

A body of art, like any body formed by nature, can neither be traced to its first beginnings nor could it ever be finished. The performance piece was an attempt to explore human desire and fascination for the beauty of natural growth that creates all vibrance between birth, decay and beyond.

The performance was created for our pop-up event at Galerie Esthete and first took place in December 2022 in their showroom in Mexico City.

Yet a House, 2022

“There are strange angles, quite strange. The same sun that shines on all the others does not seem to look into these angles, but another new sun looks into them, which seems to be especially ordered for these angles and illuminates everything with a peculiar and strange light. In this light, as it seems, a completely different life is hatched, which has no resemblance to that which bubbles around us, but is a life as it can prevail only in another time, but not with us and not in our serious, supra-new time. And this life is a mixture of something purely fantastic, hot-bloodedly idealistic, and that drearily prosaic and ordinary, not to say common to the point of absurdity. You will hear that in these corners live those strange people who are called fantasists. The fantasist, should an exact determination prove necessary, is not a man, but something like a being of middle sex. He usually dwells somewhere in an inaccessible corner, as if he wanted to hide there even from the daylight, and once he feels at home there, then he grows in his corner neatly like a snail, or at least like that strange animal, which is at the same time an animal and yet a house.”

White Nights
Fjodor Dostojewskij, 1848
