Sounds come from sources, flow with materials, are reflected by surroundings and have different recipients. 
In this process I sense those and feel responsible for their journey. 

Since my early embarrassing work, Race, I try to find ways to be a good listener and work for it. 
For me, being a good listener also means considering the political dimensions and questions of rights that emerge in sounds, in their movement, and in their effects. 

I listen to noises, make noises, and share those with participants with diverse artistic forms.
Such as games, instructions, installations, workshops, or compositions.

Bicycle Repair


I repair my bicycles as a hobby. Repairing Bicycle is finding unfamiliar noises and dealing with that. This Bicycle was stolen and found again, so it was necessary to be repaired. On the stage the brake disc of the front wheel was cleaned, brake pads were replaced, the chain was oiled, and rear derailleur was adjusted for a smooth gear shifting. Meanwhile we try to recognize, which noises are unfamiliar and to be removed.
