Bureau of Lost Causes (ongoing)
Bureau of Lost Causes is a project that explores and maps loss in its various forms. It aims to recognise the complexity of loss both in the context of art and in personal narratives, and to foster connections through the sharing of stories.
When the installation is activated, visitors are invited to join in a conversation and share their personal experiences of loss. These conversations are recorded using a typewriter and archived on a long roll of paper. The result is a living document that collects individual stories of loss. The installation also houses a collection of books on the subject of loss and two Rolodexes. It is a space in which the diverse experiences of loss are explored, with the primary aim of creating a space that prioritises connection, empathy and reflection.

Lost and Found (2021)
performance during SUEUR festival at the Forest Abbey, Brussels
Lost and Found, is an exploration of the themes of loss, losing and being lost. The project consists of a Rolodex of 172 hand-stamped, alphabetically organised index cards, each containing expressions associated with being lost and things that can be lost. The turning of the cards creates a unique rhythm that emphasises the multitude of words and transforms the simple stationary object into a vessel for new meanings.
