She had the oppor­tu­nity to present her work in Italy, France, Poland, Ger­many and Hun­gary. At the moment she is work­ing on projects based on mem­o­ries and com­mon places.

“My prac­tice tries to ana­lyze how the envi­ron­ment as well as the cul­ture can influ­ence per­cep­tion and move­ment. Being an anthro­pol­o­gist, I believe that all one’s expe­ri­ences carve their life and there­fore their body. My body research is based on the skele­tal sys­tem. In this con­text the body becomes a tool that under­lines its own phys­i­cal limits.”
