In the project Ribeiras, I aim to explore the lives of stray cats on both banks of the Douro River, specifically in Fontaínhas and Pedra dos Gatinhos. Through video documentation, I will capture the shelters and pathways these cats navigate, investigating the influence of location on shelter types, how they interact with these structures placed in the space and potential human interference. Utilizing camera installations, the results are two edited videos showcasing each riverbank. This project is inspired by the works of Francis Alys, particularly "Miradores" and "Don't cross the bridge before you get to the river," as well as Portuguese artists Mariana Caló and Francisco Queimadela's "Inhabitants of Inhabitants."

Wir teilen hier den ersten Teil eines Forschungsprozesses, der sich mit schützenden und den Körper umschlingenden, räumlichen Konstrukten beschäftigt. Das Research dient einer thematisch diskursiven und kritischen Kontextualisierung einer Performance-Installation, für die Objekte entwickelt werden, die menschliche Körper in ihrer Singularität oder in kleinen Gruppen „umschlingen“. Dabei denken wir diese Umhüllungen für menschliche und nicht-menschliche Körper im Kontext des feministischen Care-Diskurses.
We share here the first part of a research process that deals with protective and body-enveloping spatial constructs. The research serves a thematically discursive and critical contextualization of a performance installation, for which objects are developed that "envelop" human bodies in their singularity or in small groups. In doing so, we think about these coverings for human and non-human bodies in the context of the feminist care discourse.

Shell-Ter is a microarchitecture project inspired by the shape of seashells. The idea stems from the current housing crisis in Europe. What if we all became homeless? Dystopian thinking here is a space of refuge for human psychology, finding in dystopia a libertarian alternative by thinking in terms of nomadism.

"Self-Shelter Stories" is a series featuring five self-portraits with projected images. The project originated from a selection of photos captured during the program, which individually reminded me of shelters but lacked connections among themselves. The cohesion is achieved by transforming them into self-portraits, simultaneously revealing both the author and the depicted scenes. References from Francesca Woodman and Vivian Maier influenced the self-portraits, while Spanish artist Martina Martencio served as inspiration for the projection elements.
