Do you want to go to Outer Space last summer? (2025)

A kinship of reapired space-travelling creatures. The current crew memebers are Kūn, QüQü, and Planktoni I & II. Fusing metal, plastic, bio-materials, and algae together, these creatures represent a hybrid ecosystem.

Calling Mycelium! (2025)

Mycelium and bacteria are ancient yet present. They build tree wide networks, penetrate
human-made buildings, and consume plastics. To find a strategy against climate change, we
need to work together with non-human actors and our ecosystem.

With reference to future archaeologies, the artist allow mycelium to grow on obsolete technology, such
as a cheaply produced broken tamagotchi. These mycelium objects speculate a
post-catastrophic future where a symbiotic relation develops between fungus network and
human waste, e.g. plastic and obsolete technology, creating a hope for future coexistence.

Waters of Worlds (2025-ongoing)

The artist collects samples of liquids from various places ( Dover seaside, Hyde Park pond etc.) and take microscopic photography from collected samples. They are intrested in liquid as a coherent and binding element that penetreates boundaries, in the form of a drop of water or a water resource.

The project is ongoing as the artist will be continue taking samples of water on her journey in life.

A Biologist’s Table (2025)

In the Age of Enlightenment, reason and science are seem as the primary source of authority and legitmacy.

A Biologist’s Table (2025) is a performance by the non-humans. Resting on the enlarged microscope images, odd models and prototypes are injected with spirulina and mycelium. The actors here are micro-organism, the simple single-cell creature that are neglected. Slow photosyntheis and irrational cellular level movements are central to the performance.
