What I do in one sentence: I bring people together and organise time. Sometimes we call it theatre, but it can happen everywhere.
Why I didn’t get a “proper” job: I have had many jobs: can collector, merchandiser, journalist, gallerist, logistics agent, call centre operator, interpreter, diplomat – and what I do now contains a bit of all of them.
An artwork I dream of and I would get accomplished if space, time and money were abundant:100% Europe – a stage performance with a representative sample of 100 European citizens of the most diverse ages, backgrounds, and ideas.
Why I do what I do: To find a form for what drives me crazy.
Artists, I have on my watch list (and why): My physics teacher, because he made the invisible comprehensible, and my gastro-endoscopist, because she knows me from the inside.
I am afraid of repeating myself.
I know that a piece is finished when it is forgotten by the people who saw it.
How I want to be buried resp. words I want to be written on my tombstone: Compost.
