contact Mvmebody Diaries is an archival project that utilizes performative movement research and embody writing disciplines. It combines "writing through the act of forgetting" as both a diary language and an artistic expression tool with improvisation, the fluid expression of the body, in a complementary language. The writing, used in various forms such as prose or like a painting, is processed in an improvised manner, much like movement. In this way, writing, integrated with the nature of movement, replaces the functions of remembering and permanence in the classical sense with a fluidity and decay related to movement, merging with the body. The artist's ongoing explorations of both writing and movement are shared publicly through various social media platforms.

Desparate Lover  (11.11.2023)






My realm of experience is my body; everything I carry within this body is not independent from each other.

Everything effectuated within myself opens the way for understanding the other, as an intimate transition.

Because in my realm of experience, there is nothing apart from me, I am not in control. But that's okay. There is a beautiful anarchy inside of me under the influence of great existence—the only, eternal order.

And I cannot be something beyond the limits of my mind and body; I can only add or subtract things from what already exists.

As I drift, I give meaning to the space I immerse myself in and experience what I can or cannot do for myself. I experience it as if there is nothing else I can do—an unaltered, raw, instinctive desire to exist. And in reality, I know that this desire is a premise embodied in all beings. A premise of existence.

Like a dancer being  encompassed by a predetermined choreography, being able to manifest oneself with a specific identity only within this choreography. Interpreting one's own existence into the choreography. Like identity being an interpretation of existence.                                                                                                                                                                                     So I Dance Like a...








How Can I Say ‘Hello’?  (19.03.2023)







Walking, Falling  (03.10.2023)



If I have my own reality and I'm going to talk about it, it should be nothing other than what I am experiencing. I must describe what I go through. Every day, what I experience. Not what I want to live. Unfortunately (or not?), my mental reality is a separate world from the reality I live. 
And more than a disconnection, I can only speak of connections that beyond myself. As if the monologues in our minds are referencing nothingness.
If we look at it from the opposite perspective; where there is touch, there is also an understanding that leads to your realization. I believed that the more people there were who believed and appreciated those connections between our reality and my whole being, the more real my world would become. Like a fantastic creature.
