I am interested in disappearances, and the gestalts through which the unknown, unresolved and unsaid might reappear. I am not exploring the past, but the relationship between the disappearance and the return; the pause and the recognition; the wordless knowing of lingering. I am exploring the voice of listening.

Short prose and documentary fiction have been published with Sonderzahl and Mandelbaum publishers, as well as in literature magazines and anthologies. I sometimes teach writing at art universities, translate▸, take comissions or hold workshops.

After graduating highschool at 17, I left Austria for Rome, where I worked with an environmental association and a self-organized community center. (Family) research travels have taken me to Mexico, Russia, and beyond. I have been involved in organic farming in Italy since 1999. Studies brought me to London, Bolzano/Bozen, Vienna and Leipzig. I am currently a PhD candidate in the field of arts-based research at the University of Arts in Linz. Born in Salzburg-Lehen (Austria), I  make my home in Vienna and on the right bank of the Morava River.

Planetary Garden▸ is a term coined by the gardener Gilles Clément.
