PHILOSOPHY

TO BE IS TO DO

If you dont have a shadow you are not staying in the light.

No one is ever satisfied where he is

The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been traveling a lot and love CSs people, I always feel safe and comfortable traveling around and surfing at people´s places.

Interessen

I consider myself as an activist and artist. I love combing creativity with social and political issues. Apart of it I am enjoying people around me who inspire me for different project, places and cities. I think a city is a small version of our cosmos, so we can land anytime on the moon.
Dance is very important for me, languages help me to communicate, being present and always on my way keeps me alive and love energize people around me.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I have been to the concert by Bjork that has changed my life.

I used to work (I will do it again soon) as a nude model at the academy of art in Dresden. Germany. This inspired me to become a performance artist.

Last autumn, 2013 I went to Georgia to make an intervention piece on the main street of Tbilisi. Just from the beginning of the piece I got attacked and humiliated for two hours by more than 15 school students.

In January 2014 I have been to Iran, I loved the time there but I got arrested for two days by security police of Iran for taking pictures of the main mosque.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can do some little performances with you, exploring time, space and the body.

I am dancing with long materials. Do you like to join me for a dance?
