‘Spills’ is a performance followed by a spatial exploration focused on relations between the body and natural elements and atmospheres - sensations on a micro-phenomenological level. Understanding natural processes such as transformation, evolution, growth, decay, destruction, or unpredictability inspired me to create spatial structures. Architectural rules followed by natural aspects of materials create an environment of 'Spills' that is leaking, breathing, and transforming. Hygroscopic features of wooden structures reacting to the humidity and changing its geometry, or various forms of water (ice and mist) become performative objects and their transformations choreographic transitions. All of these elements are creating a new ecosystem between objects, natural agents, and the human body.
