Where does the natural form begin, where does it end?

Between autobiographically influenced, phantasmagorical environments of flooded fields, roadside forests, streets that lead to nowhere and places that defy spatial categorisation, the multimedia installation ‘I think I was once a Car’ negotiates body representations that are detached from the human form.

Accompanied by a partly AI-generated, partly self-written text, the self alternates between machines and hybrid beings that push the boundaries of one’s own body as fluid and immaterial: ‘I could take on a new shape or fall’.
