The installation (un)patient forms around a three chapter narration and questionaire, displayed in textform as a handbound fanzine.
It takes place in an ambiguous space, merging studio, operating theater, confessional booth and hospital room into one, offering up the question if medical transition paths are ultimately designed to lead into cis-heteronormativity and where to go from there, when social constructs and norms intertwine with psychiatric diagnosis. Gazes onto the body turn into observations of microscopic organic forms, away from pre-determined symbols or the human scale of things.

(un)patient was awarded with the Lyonel Art Award 2023 for best fine arts graduation show at Bauhaus University.
