SCHIMMEN
Leporello Publication
25 x 27 x 4 cm
Cardboard, paper, plastic sheet, pins, staples, tape, 2025
An artistic research publication bringing together an archive of family images, stories, and memoirs with an archive of film stills, notes, and other materials from my ongoing research “It’s too cold for the spirits to live here.”
Within this publication, I coined the term ‘spiritual archive’ as a mode of thinking and organising — a method that arranges materials in a non-linear, intuitive, and erratic manner. This approach allows unconscious connections to surface between fragments, where form informs content as much as the content informs the form. The leporello structure, with its layered and foldable format, enables multiple readings. The narrative shifts depending on how the publication is unfolded.

Lineage of Tools
Perfect bound, one katern publication
14 x 20 x 0.5 cm
Paper, elastic band, cord lock, 2024
Lineage of tools is documentation of my tools. It’s the toolbox I own, documentated in the form of a publication. The tools have many origins and stories. They are inherited from my family, my grandmother and grandfather, also there are tools from my parents and from friends that don’t need the tools anymore. The sharing fo tools, the idea of a tool as an object to build other objects, and the tool to build yet another tool, to create even more tools is the concept of creation and delveopment. A process of continuous transformation, documented in this small booklet.
