Message > 26.08.2026 > English translation!
Hello, I am currently working on translating my website to English! This being said, not everything can be translated to English with the same meaning nor acheiving the same poetic portrait or resonance. As my work takes place on-site and relates to surrounding context, some artworks are conceived within and for their specific public and some nuances, wordplay or contextual references will remain in their original language. I hope you can enjoy them anyway!

Blowing a 🐖 porc intestine and shaping it as a balloon dog 🐩 was somehow a challenge. I mean, it's always some kind of a challenge to pursue the realization of "whatever idea", and to leave the comments aside, even the ones from your inner self judgement.
🌬️🌭 Luftwurst — ou Baudruche pour les intimes— is a personal empowerment performance, a gentle reminder to my gut to drag whatever I want, no matter what the clown says. 🤡
Thanks to all artists that made this moment possible :
Evamaria Schaller @evamariaschaller
Janina Warnk @snackmyfridgeup
Stephan Ganoff
Felipe Gonzalez @felipegonzalezberrios
Konrad Bohley @konradan_bohley
Another special thanks to Theresa Samimizad aka multichrom_ev at flow_offspace for offering this beautiful new art space, it's a banger!
