“Music and the Land.” drawing on the rhythms, cycles, and interconnectedness of nature, technology, and cultural heritage.
Thanks to @gwynethwentink (CEO, Harpist) and Sir John Eliot Gardiner (Conductor, Organic Farmer) for inviting us to their land and introducing us to their organisation where music, ecology, and imagination meet – with performances, conversations, and a musical pilgrimage through the gardens.

"Arsenic Ballerinas sets an inquiry to find the technological entanglements between cosmetics and the development of transistors, radios, and war machines."
I admire Ioanas contagious creative drive. It seems almost impossible how many works she produces in such a short time. Her sense of humor and perseverance is truly heroic and inspiring.

"Is my lipstick a semiconductor?" Arsenic Ballerinas explores the history of beauty technologies and cosmetics, specifically their toxicological and mineral entanglements.
I interviewed her, filmed her process and her performance during @flipchart_instrumentinventors and made this documentation video.

Thrilled to reveal the first glimpse of the film I’ve been developing here in Japan 🥹 This infrared camera is INSANE. I look at the world like a kid again. More soon.
~ Acting like a 'fluffification filter', Seidenki blends pink aesthetics with deeper reflection. This experimental fantasy film reveals hidden energies and structures beyond our visible spectrum through infrared videography, 3D scans, and underwater soundscapes — inviting reflection on attention, connection, and perception.
[𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘯-𝘺𝘰𝘬𝘶 scene] With the wonderful actress @kaoru_koide. 🌸 It's amazing how we both flow in our creative process, when the light and feel is just right.😌

"I've critiqued my body relentlessly, chasing an elusive ideal within. The weight of the male gaze haunts my thoughts. Now, I strive to liberate myself from societal norms dictating womanhood. How do I silence judgmental voices within?"
