QED, it’s harder to talk with you than with a deceased person

Through the pretext of observing a physical phenomenon such as the synchronization of
two objects (metronomes), the work investigates the language of moving images as rhythm,
succession of sound and light in a frame.
The layering of the video interweaves, at times confusingly and at others more distinctly,
two overlapping narrative voices testing the viewer‘s attention in an effort at communication
and empathy.
Both filming and editing are influenced by the metronome-scored timings that tripartite the
narration in three tempos. The work explores alternative ways of language and communication,
delivery and reception of a message.

Last words?
sound performance
2023
“Last words?” is a non-hierarchical textual assemblage that is performed live as
a sound piece.
It is a narration of collected near-death tweets, written by notable people, that are
subverting their online domain while questioning the importance of a famous phenomenon
called last words.
„Don‘t ask me how I‘m doing bitch I‘m GREAT It‘s about to be a very eventful night to say the least

AZERTY amélioré {sfz}
concert performance
2023
AZERTY amélioré {sfz} is a live performance on a piano whose 88 keys have been given a second function. Using custom software, the MIDI signal of each key is converted into a keystroke: every note played also types a letter, number or special character on a screen.
The keys are mapped according to a modified version of AZERTY amélioré (NF Z71-300:2019-04), the revised French keyboard standard published in 2019. During the performance pianist Jan-Hendrik Linßen plays the text in which the layout’s developers set out their own guiding principles.
sfz, short for sforzando or sforzato, is a performance marking that calls for a sudden, strong accent on a single note or chord.
