A slow rhythmic work on the rise and fall of breath. I think about the vapours and droplets in our lungs and the colonies we grow. The whiteness of the paper, shredded and embroiled with ‘unseen' data that whiteness holds.
A selection of works including collaborations, sketch works and small limited edition photographic prints.

Kayoticmobil is a Wenz/Franck project (Julia Wenz und Peter Franck). I was invited to spend a period of time using the Piaggio ape for studio practice. You can follow Kayoticmobil at https://eurape.org and https://www.instagram.com/kayoticmobil/?hl=en.
Extending the use of the Vespa ( Italian for wasp) mechanics, in 1947 the Ape ( Italian for bee) was presented as a prototype by aircraft designer Corradino D’Asciano to address post-war transportation and commercial needs for Italy’s population and economy. In the same year post-Mussolini Italy prepared a new constitution and transitioned from a monarchy and fascist state to a democratic one. In 1948 the Piaggio Ape went into production and the first parliamentary democratic elections were held. As part of this parallel legacy I spent time looking at the social insects bees and wasps as frameworks for political thinking, considering how they model aspects such as democracy, swarm behaviour and hive mind. The recent use of the ape by Wenz und Franck was as a photographic darkroom, where experimental recipes in developing formula created the suspended moment and the framed space in which something might appear. Borrowing this disposition of the yet-to-appear I documented a series of experiments that focus the human and non-human body and the form and formlessness of sculpture.
