As part of the exhibition “Disturbing Truths – The Disenchantment of the World”, I proposed creating an artwork specifically with and for the community of Lorentzweiler with the goal to re-enchant the world. The result was the piece “Doheem: Lorenzo Alfredo”, a portrait of the shared meaning of “home” in Lorentzweiler.

Almost 50 people responded to my question, “What does home mean to you?” In addition to many drawings, I also collected poems, stories, and old family photos. All of these impressions flowed into the creation of Alfredo Lorenzo.

The installation could be entered, played with and altered if there was the wish to do so. and was acoomponied by a publication .

community art project

with Mais uno +1 Collective

Talude, PT

During the 2 months of summer holiday 2025, the municipality of Loures destroyed 60+ self build illegal housing without giving the habitants an alternative. The housing crisis is real in Portugal and the question of home becomes a commodity.

After realising the project about home in Lorentzweiler just the month before that (see Alfredo Lorenzo) I started my research on home in an entirely different socio-economic and cultural environment together with Mais uno +1 collective.

This project is the continuation of Alfredo Lorenzo and will be continued this summer 2026.

costumes for ritualistic actions

Textile, straw, flowers

Kintai Arts, LT

These bird masks explore the intersections of environmental tradition, migration, and identity. Created during my residency in Kintai, Lithuania, the works are made using the traditional Lithuanian straw weaving technique known as Sodai art.

Constructed from fragile leftover materials that are, in essence, common grass, the masks reflect both the vulnerability and resilience of nature. Through conversations and collaboration with local inhabitants, the masks were activated in a ritual welcoming migrating birds along the Curonian Spit, a place known for it’s busy bird seasons.
