PORTFOLIO
CV
I’m a Swedish performance artist in Denmark working with sound and oral storytelling, copying known forms of public speech such as political rhetoric, preaching, lecturing and TED talks. I write scripts and semi-fictional essays mixing science, history, mythology and personal anecdotes. A recurring topic is animal communication; a research that explores otherness identity and embodiment. Working with my own voice and the voices of others, I want to stretch what language can be and how it manifests inside and between us, in sound, movement, and imitation. I’m the founder of the Animal Sound Society, a collaborative project spanning over 10 years. An interview about it is available in LYDKUNST PODCAST.
