 Shame 2023Shame has always come before me in every interaction and every situation. I took my shame out on a date to befriend it. Accept it and understand it like a lover. I don't even know when it became bigger than me. I am finally able to see it as a separate entity. Separate from me. This performance is part of a series titled "Reconciliation". |  Shame 2023Shame has always come before me in every interaction and every situation. I took my shame out on a date to befriend it.

 Between the Map and the Territorya durational action at multiple sites in public space. It deals with mapping the city. The documentation will navigate between the reality of the space, past knowledge/memory and representation of the space as experienced. I observe how my presence will create a temporal geography that will in time be a reality and in future a fiction in an ever evolving space and it’s representation. I walk with the ladder and choose a site where I sit on the ladder and observe the city through binoculars. |  Elemental 2020Live performance-installation. I through this performance explore the word Home by creating an imagined temporal site where two different habitats co-exist and its dwellers negotiate their parallel existence by performing their rituals of the household until their choreography is confused and blurred while the space becomes what I call an Expanded Home.
