L-INKED
now-2016 | performance-maker, performer, researcher, video work

Centred on questions of sexuality, love, desire & gender,
L-INKED deals with the intersections of different cultural & social understandings of the mentioned topics.
The interdisciplinary project "L-inked" is a series
of physical events with digital extension (live-streaming)
taking place in Linz, Vienna and Burgenland that unravels the
sensitivity & sensibility around the topics of- sexuality & desire of love for an individual.
Through different artistic expressions like dance, music, video projection alongside with audience
participation it further explores the mythological, historical & current socio-political influences
on the concept of relationship- how we define, stereotype & practice the idea of relationship especially between a man & a woman .
It also focuses on the arising need that objectification is not only for a woman but also for a man: the topics of the sensitivity
of the man, the emotionality of a man, the fluidity in a gender, the duality in a gender are not appreciated by the normative
side of society.
It strives to achieve a state of the society where people do not fall into body-shaming & hatred towards
one’s own self & others, especially when it is based on the choices of expressing intimacy, love & sexuality.
It re-establishes spaces- open air & indoors, where people can explore & find their freedom of body expressions
(without risking their or others health ) by diving deep into the diverse expressions of love and respectful ways
of being- & interacting- in different forms of relationships. It is done, by providing body-space workshops
in different spaces like City Swarming, providing interaction between the artistic & non- artistic communities via communal
& artistic activities, through performances in open spaces like
"The Transcription, appearing in disappearance" and opening discussions on the genderization of the body.
The idea is to invite people to take the project as a starting point for their own reflection on how
normative perspectives on love & desire have formed an individual lives , and thereby the humankind as a whole. Further
reflecting on how each of us can help to create an open and progressive environment wherein everyone can be accepted
for who they are.
