poetic experience is my core interest – be it in the form of a dance, a text, a film, an object, a situation, or a document.

For Georges Bataille, “The poetic is the familiar dissolving into the strange and ourselves with it.”

The poetic is the familiar dissolving into the strange. This kind of shift happens for me in the studio when, for example, I spend some time looking at things and people around me. Suddenly, everything is beauty; the old piece of bread crust that lies under the table becomes the most incredible sculpture, people around me are composing the most exquisite choreography. Nothing has changed but I see it differently. Everything is organized, in order, at the right place. Since the poetic happens when I pay attention to details, attention is what makes the ordinary extra-ordinary; it is a door to poetic experiences.
