Attention: This page is best viewed on a desktop. The embedded Miro board can also be navigated in fullscreen mode.
To take advantage of the free form opportunity, I’m sharing my Miro board. I often work in this way to understand processes, collect reference images and visualize my reflections on space, collectiveness, resources, and relations. Feel free to cruise the board.
Space is never neutral.
It orients us,
teaches us how to move,
where to stand,
where to sit,
who belongs.
I am interested in this as choreography.
Learned,
repeated,
absorbed.
Small gestures become habits.
Habits become norms.
I see them as spatial rituals.
As a queer body, I am interested in how these rituals relate to power.
How some bodies feel at home,
while others remain
displaced,
misplaced,
unplaced.
Where do these rituals begin to fail?
When does the body disorient?
Failure reveals the work required to maintain alignment.
At the same time, I think about cruising.
Cruising in the queer sense.
Tied to desire,
risk,
coded encounters.
A way of moving that is
indirect,
attentive,
searching.
It depends on reading signals,
sensing proximity,
recognizing what is not stated.
A way of moving.
I turn this into action.
I follow this into the spaces around the Museum and Novi Zagreb.
Walking without a fixed goal.
Paying attention to how space is used,
not as intended,
but as lived.
Enacted in passing.
I begin with observing these rituals
and then shifting them.
Small appropriations.
Unsettling the choreography.
Disorienting the body.
What matters is how this becomes shared.
Walking with others.
Noticing together.
Where does space allow?
Where does it restrict?
Where can it be used differently?
Not to take over space,
but to test it.
To push, gently,
against its limits.
Queerness sits inside this.
Indirect routes.
Working within constraints.
Using what is available.
