About ALIEN:

The work is inspired partly by temporarily living abroad in New York; a massively densely populated city wherein everybody seems to exist in parallel universes. It also draws on recent experience of being separated from friends and family – both through space and time. -

“unbearable lightness is a series of reflections and a sonic love letter to the lightness of being alive. It begins as an exploration of breath with a lightweight object: a latex balloon. As the balloon gives shape to breath, playful opportunities emerge for breath to give shape to the body and for the body to find its dance.”
