About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Turning worlds upside down

ABOUT ME

I'm a young filmmaker and artist from Berlin. This years I want to lay the groundwork for my artistic goals in life. In order to achieve that I'm on a constant search for people, places, expierence that are challenging, mindbending or touching - in any dialectical sense. To create a body of art I want to create a living sitaution, in which art naturally is produced by the situation. Apart from that, I have to warn you, I am dedictaed more to nights than to days, I have a late-time-job and usually go out every night for quite a while. So if you're an early bird, my couch is maybe not the right choice for you.

PHILOSOPHY

Since I have a huge interest in philosophy, I would describe myself as a hegelian in any common sense. But since that isn't what is asked for in that question, as I think, I just don't have an answer to it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has all been really lovely so far.

Interests

My interest are spreading huge fields of matter, so I would say
arts (music, film, theatre, fine arts, performance/installation, dance)
science (philosophy, sociology, psychology, psychoanalysis, theology, natural sciece, general theory)
culture (food, history, events, architecture, sightseeing, cultural exchange, social activity).
I guess that is pretty much a systematic approach to describe almost everything out there, so I'm pretty open to talk to you about anything that matters to you - as I will find some interest in most. Probably I will start a discussion - heated or calm, whatever temper you'll prefer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying cigarettes at early moring in a casino in Ostrava.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try not to forget knowledge, so I permanently talk about the things I learnt, to remind me of them. I also try not to forget memories, so I colourize them in my head to mark the timeline.

Countries I’ve Visited
