(she/they) (Austria; lives and works between Belgium and the Netherlands) is an artist, performer and typographer.
Their practice is situated around language, publishing and forms of collective inquiry. Through republishing, rewriting and editorial work, they engage existing texts and modes of circulation in order to question how knowledge is authored, distributed and maintained. Moving between printed matter, performance and sound, their work considers publishing not only as a format of dissemination, but as a social and political practice grounded in collectivity, access and exchange.
In 2025, together with Marie Hugny, they have co–initiated hapax press —a publication format dedicated to language and poetic exploration for (non)writers. Further, they have been involved in hosting site–specific workshops exploring in–situ publishing methods, collective writing practices and embodied forms of listening. Their work frequently approaches the voice as a material site of inscription and transmission.
Previous projects take the form of book and publication design, (self)publishing, language–based performances, sound experimentation and workshops.
