How does the space affect your work?

The space gives me a kind of calm that I really need. Some days it’s a living chaos, and other days the space shifts and becomes very orderly, especially when I’m doing archival work and spend hours organizing documents, images, or performance records. It’s also a place where I can receive people: colleagues, friends, collaborators. When they come, the atmosphere changes completely. The studio stops being just my own mental-body bunker and becomes a space of exchange, where we talk, plan, and question things together.

How do you interact with the environment outside your studio?

Right outside my studio there is a large, beautiful cemetery that I can see from the window. I go there quite often; it’s very quiet, and it has become my break from work — a place to walk, sit, and draw while looking at the trees, or bring a book to read.
