Drummer (#1-#10)
mixed media over litography (2024)
Drummer #1 - #10 is a series of lithographies and mixed media works reimagining fictional covers of the iconic Drummer magazine, a leather gay publication from the 1970s, blending anachronic elements like Derek Jarman’s cottage, a shark-shaped Hot Wheels, gaming chairs, pierced ID cards, screenshots from the artists’ archive — from their own work or for instance, Jen DeNike videos — and construction tools into a constellation of desire and impossibilities.
Exhibition views in “Ritmos y Poemas”, at Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon. 2025.
Drum Poems
performance (2024 - ongoing)
I have been working on my drum poems since June 2024, as an invitation from “Voice as Landscape: Borrowing a Distant Hill”, a two-day festival with a focus on the voice as a transformative force. I blend repeated beats and spoken word to explore the interplay between rehearsal and script. This performance unfolds as a surreal mosaic of scattered aphorisms and imagery, evoking moments such as the increasing popularity of the patron of lost causes, and recalling only the scent of a football player while entering the field holding his hand. As an alternative version, I have performed my drum poems with Cameron Lynch, as a b2b between autobiographical maximalists. These video excerpts are from a session recorded in one take in the Roode Bioscoop theater, Amsterdam.

(Best Song Ever)
performance (2022)
(Best Song Ever) is a performative collection of moments of reorientation. It’s a concert about songs that could’ve never been written. An ecstatic and melancholic symphony about impossibilities and transformation. Performed for the first 15 times for the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Graduation Show 2022, and later in Amsterdam Art Week, MONO Rotterdam, Queer is Not a Manifesto, Amsterdam; and Centro de Residencias Matadero, Madrid and Garage Noord Amsterdam.
