Recent Practice<\/span><\/h1>\",\"content\":\"

In times of despair, the need for orientation grows: we invoke a cosmic intelligence, seeking answers in the stars. Subjective experience turns toward the reading of signs, of patterns, toward the search for an instance that knows more than we do.<\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

My current artistic research situates itself precisely in this zone: at the intersection of intuition, imagination, and what is commonly referred to as the metaphysical or the occult. It begins with the question: Where does inspiration come from? What is the relationship between cognitive processes, the body, and possible forms of an \\u201coutside\\u201d?<\/span><\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

I am currently undertaking training as a medium, thereby expanding my practice\\u2014previously oriented primarily toward the material and the physical\\u2014toward an investigation of immaterial and non-visible dimensions.<\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

I understand this training not as the acquisition of a stable system of knowledge, but as an experimental, performative setup in which I explore the possibility of coming into contact with invisible, metaphysical levels, and in which I test practices of receiving, translating, and transmitting.<\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

In this context, I see the figure of the medium as a kind of threshold figure that calls into question both the stability of the autonomous subject and the clarity of authorship. I understand the ambivalence of the esoteric, oscillating between the promise of knowledge and uncertainty, as an artistic field of inquiry, as a dispositif that moves between projection, intuition, and the Other.<\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

My painterly work already operates at this threshold of visibility, withdrawal, and processuality. The use of transparent, large-scale image carriers destabilizes the classical parameters of painting, particularly its closure and its temporal-spatial fixation. Transparency enables the superimposition of form and colour as well as the inversion of front and back.<\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

The painting process itself, shaped by movement, oversized scale, and the fragility of materials, is one of loss of control and bodily engagement: a stroking, pushing, circling, or even bumping.<\/p>

\\u00a0<\/p>

Starting from this practice and the assumption that the one image of sth does not exist, I have recently begun to ask: How can painting respond to phenomena that lie beyond the immediately visible or materially graspable? And: What do the spirit beings have to say?<\/span><\/p>\",\"isOpen\":false},{\"title\":\"
