“Dominium Terrae” is a powerful and unsettling exploration of humanity’s current trajectory and the futures we may be steering toward. Structured as a series of museums, each devoted to a distinct failure of the modern era—ranging from environmental collapse to economic inequality and social injustice—the book exposes the hidden costs of our systems and practices. Each exhibition serves as both a mirror and a warning, urging us to confront the consequences of inaction before they harden into disaster.
More than just critique, “Dominium Terrae” is a call to responsibility. It reminds us that the choices we make today will define the world of tomorrow. Through sharp analysis and strikingly imaginative storytelling, it challenges readers to envision and build a future that is more just, equitable, and sustainable. Thought-provoking, urgent, and deeply resonant, “Dominium Terrae” is essential reading for anyone concerned with the fate of our planet and the survival of our species.

In this project, we delve into a dystopian scenario where a country grapples with a resurgence of soft drinks, leading to a severe public health crisis characterized by diabetes, obesity, and shortened lifespans. Government regulations prove futile as corporations actively promote and profit from sugary beverage consumption, especially targeting infants and children. This narrative underscores the stark contrast between dire health consequences and profit-driven marketing, culminating in the nation's inundation with unhealthy products.
A publication and various objects were crafted during a residency in Merida, Mexico.

Me, myself and (A)I
2024
in collaboration with
Bernadette Maria Leitner
Flavia Mazzanti
Manuel Bonell
This research project explores the expansive digital landscape of self-expression and identity, from Instagram filters to fully fictional personas. It focuses on empowering marginalized communities, especially those who feel disconnected from their biological bodies, allowing them to express their true selves. Using tracking suits, participants can fuse their physical and digital identities, creating personalized avatars that embody their desired identities and emotions, often enhanced through AI tools.
The project specifically involves performers from transgender, non-binary, and gender-fluid communities, who explore and express their new digital selves. Their movements and emotions are translated into transformative avatars, raising profound questions about the fluidity of identity and the impact of digital self-discovery on reality. The final output will be a video documenting this innovative process, blending the tangible with the digital and sparking reflections on the intersections of technology and identity.

“I still believe that the principle is that the law has to follow politics and not politics the law." Herbert Kickl - FPÖ 21.01.2019
In reference to an absurd statement by a right-wing politian, a room is created which reflects the conflict of it. A door, that does not comply with any norms. The entrance does not only depict this assertion, it also represents the politics of populism, nationalism and bigotry. On the inside “Europe”.

Als die Tiere den Wald verließen

Already in the cartoon series of the same name, released in 1993, attention is drawn to the problem of the destruction of our planet by man and machine. The extinction of their habitat forces the animals to strive for a far-away paradise and to accept great dangers. In it, parallels can be drawn to our present: We humans seal our own destiny by following trends and technologies while taking no account of our environment. As a way out, we are looking for new habitats, even in foreign galaxies.
