Haiku
Language as Image as Language
Four of my haiku were shortlisted in a poetry competition in Germany and will be published in an anthology, both as an e-book and in print! I am very happy that these brief, fleeting texts have found their way into the world. I share them here as part of my artistic language.
You can find the texts under “Written Text.” Thank you for visiting.
NEW WORKS #3
Group exhibition in Lenzburg
From October 26 to November 16, 2025, I will be showing my work group "Behind the Gaze" in the exhibition NEW WORKS #3 at the Galerie Soussol, Müllerhaus Literaturhaus Lenzburg.
I am particularly looking forward to the reading and discussion with literary figures on November 6, 2025, at 7:45 p.m., where they will respond to the exhibited works.

In-situ-exhibition IM FLUSS III
AFRA
May 10 to October 26, 24/7, under the Reussegg highway bridge.
Organized and coordinated by the Visarte project group KIF ("Kunst im Fluss"). Curated by Monika Kiss Horvath with an introduction by Claudia Spinelli.
My contribution, a bright red LED neon installation called AFRA, thematizes the legal street prostitution in the nearby industrial area of Ibach and makes the reality of sex work visible. The lettering, based on the handwriting of a sex worker, creates a link between individual history and public discourse. AFRA, the patron saint of sex workers, stands for respect and empathy and encourages us to address taboo subjects. This project artistically complements the city of Lucerne in its social efforts.
Many thanks to Eliane Burkart from the Lisa association for the stimulating and informative discussions and the contact with the sex workers.
