I studied at the abk Stuttgart in a broad range of courses ranging from installative painting (Reto Boller) over political approaches (Rainer Ganahl) to performance and time-based media (Discotheca Flaming Star) as well as theory and Lacanian Psychoanalysis (Felix Ensslin) and an Erasmus semester at asp Warszawie (Mirosław Bałka, Grzegorz Kowalski and Katarzyna Kozyra). In the following two years during my studiostipend at the Künstlerhaus Stuttgart my approach was more oriented towards research. In 2022-24 I was funded by the DAAD for my MFA studies at the Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam, NL) with an emphasis on research and documentation (Barbara Visser, Bart Haensel, Rouzbeh Akbari) and storytelling (Matthew Wilson, Emilia Tapprest, Ivan Cheng).
