About
I’m an interdisciplinary artist and producer based in Lisbon.
I’m currently focusing on my writing, some of which can be found here: inespere.wordpress.com
In my work, I explore the “here/now”-”presence/environment” through “non actively performative actions” where being is a statement in itself, and where actions or movements do not serve the purpose of illustration, but rather of turning this “being” visible, and communicative. I believe in the process being in itself, the “creation”, not in the logic of “showing something”, or “producing an art work”.
I’m interested in the various layers, bonds, and connections that place us as breathing beings, in a given environment at a given time, in the “now” and the “here”, in the sensation of lingering infinity in the ephemeral of the moment, the turning point, the “in between” of movement and the myriad of details that can turn into points of focus and exploration.
Aside my recent solo performative work, I also have participated, performed, and worked as a performer or producer with artists such as João Fiadeiro, Bobby Baker, AjayKumar, Deej Fabyc, Gary Stevens, Zineb Zedira, Anne Bean, Ligia Soares, Yumiko Yoshioka, Mem Morrison, Curious, Carina Diepens, Isabel Valverde, Diana Kubicz, Shabnam Shabazy, Lucy Panesar, David Rosenberg, Yurena A de Dios, Pedro Antunes, Sabrina Marsili.
I have presented and toured live performances in London, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Berlin, Poznan, Trollathän, Aveiro, Paris and Lisbon and in venues such as CUBE Microplex, Duckie, Area10, Instituto Franco-Português, CEM, Beaconsfield Gallery, la Miroiterie or the SHUNT Vaults and in festivals such as the Deviant Festival, Dimanche Rouge, the Camberwell Arts Festival or Ladyfest Leeds.
