CYBERANGEL
2024/25Performative Installation
Winnie lives in her own universe on Tumblr under the nickname CYB3R_ANG3L_3. The endless data streams of cyberspace are the culture to which she connects her innermost being, her thoughts, feelings, and fears. After going through a painful experience, she spends her days between brain and bed rotting in her room. Cyberangel combines performance with multimedia installation and documents Winnie’s daily life in search of healing.

Too Much Is Never Enough @ Scherben, Berlin 2023
Transition Archives @ Culterim Gallery, Berlin 2023
The installation focuses on gender transition through transdermal self-medication. The piece explores the rituality of transitioning – questioning its political dimension, privacy and accessibility. The altar displays found personal objects closely tied to the reality and process of transitioning, inviting the viewer to a moment of public intimacy. You are invited to kneel.

2021Performative Installation with live ASMR
Collab w/ Almitra Pyritidis, jpeg.love
Exhibited @ Napoleon Komplex Gallery, Berlin 2021

“We are queer because we refuse to take a fixed form.” (Antke Engel). “The cutest criticism” is a live ASMR performance on the inner critical voice and queer mental health. Hand-knitted pieces show how a person felt while knitting. In a relaxed state, the stitches are loose and soft. Being physically tense creates a tight, rigid pattern. When we are daydreaming, small bumps or holes show. A knitted piece thus works like a diary of mental health. Textile, body and installation merge into one sculpture.

Curated by Constantin Hartenstein
After the apocalypse, the few species that have survived will start to live in symbiosis with each other to survive, rather than exploitation. From this state of being, a new ritualistic cult will arise. One member of this cult visits our present world, and invites you to a one-on-one ritualistic sequence.
