About Me

“[...] we encounter different persons (sometimes even without knowing them) and also movements, ideas, happenings, entities. And even if all those things have a singular name, that singular name is not designating a person nor an object. Designates an effect, a zigzag, something occurring between both which is neither one nor the other. [...]”
“[...] to use solitude as a way of encounter, to draw a line or a block between two persons [...], to show that the AND conjunction is not a meeting nor a juxtaposition, but the birth of a stutter [...]. To look for a totally different idea, in a different place, in a different domain; to look for something happening between both ideas, something neither present in one nor in the other. But usually this "other" idea is difficult to find by oneself, chance or someone else is needed in order to apprehend it [...]”

These beautiful quotes from Deleuze stand as a kind of epicenter of my current work, consisting in a series of duet-collaborations with virtuoso improvisers, in which my aim is to surpass the boundaries of our individual imagination by means of ‘the other’.
