THE CLINIC OF THE UNBODIED//

The Clinic of The Unbodied unfolds within the charged architecture of a former veterinary clinic, a site once dedicated to healing and euthanasia. Here, animal remains and prosthetic technologies are brought together in a series of hybrid sculptures and media installations that probe the thresholds of the body.
Across sculptural and media forms, the exhibition points to the ways memory, cognition, and affect extend beyond the body, distributed across machines and networks. What emerges is an uneasy vision of coexistence, in which empathy and domination are inseparably entwined, and where the body itself becomes a contested site of experimentation.
Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floor Slowly Sprout Into Undying Gardens
[ art direction, performance, costumes, video installation]
In collaboration with Tara Dalli , Máximo de Vries, Herwig Scherabon
For my master’s thesis, I conceived the costume design and art direction for the performance within The Clinic of The Unbodied. Performed by Tara Dalli, the piece unfolds at the threshold between material and immaterial states, where a costume made of water-soluble plastic gradually dissolves through contact with water. This act of disappearance exposes the fragile boundary between human and non-human, turning the costume into an active agent of transformation.
Inspired by El Libro de las Fuerzas by Julián Galay, the work explores how memory, time, and matter extend beyond human perception. The costume, designed as a hybrid organism combining organic and synthetic elements, reflects on decay, permeability, and continuity. Through a precise yet sensorial direction, the performance stages a state of transition where body, material, and perception merge into a single, unstable form.

Set Design / Co–Art Direction for Pedro Oranges’s short film about a man drifting between reality and a market that buys dreams, hunted by the “Dream Snatchers.” I scouted locations (Schöneberg apartment, repetitive housing complex, Brandenburg field), designed a minimal, symbolic apartment dressing, and maintained strict continuity for a desk scene recreated indoors and outside. I coordinated prop sourcing , organized backstage workflow, supported camera/light tests, and resolved a transport.
MY GLASS LIKE RAIN_SS56

with Viana Wagokh
Divided into two parts_ Excess and Scarcity_the fashion collection transforms visible signs of environmental strain (like dry skin, bloated features, or swelling) into accessories that are branded as a new style, rather than insecurities created by the lack or excess of water, and the climate crisis as a whole.
The project underscores a critical psychological aspect: people often don't act on serious issues like the climate crisis until they feel its effects personally. By turning these impacts into fashion, SS56 plays on this tendency, showing how insecurities linked to environmental changes can be manipulated. Fashion becomes a psychological tool, not just a statement, influencing how people perceive urgent matters when they touch individual lives. In making the climate crisis wearable, SS56 critiques society’s tendency to engage with environmental issues only at a surface level. It reveals how fashion can be used to reshape public awareness, masking the severity of the problem while bringing it into the spotlight through trends rather than action.

Developed during my Master’s in Architecture, this project was part of the workshop Maintenance 1:1 in the German Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2023. Together with local organizations like Assemblea Sociale per la Casa (ASC) and ReBiennale / R3B ,we explored how rescued materials from past Biennales could be reused to support everyday life in the Santa Marta neighborhood of Venice.
Working collectively with local carpenters and residents, we designed and built small-scale interventions responding to specific needs of the community. I joined the Circolo Anziani group, a social space for elderly residents, where we co-created an outdoor kitchen for daily use and communal gatherings. Alongside this, we also designed a communal table for a nearby primary school, built entirely from reclaimed materials. Both structures were inspired by Venetian colors, architectural fragments, and local patterns, modest gestures of repair, care, and reciprocity within the city’s fragile urban fabric.
