About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my life is on my side

ABOUT ME

I'm still enrolled in the university to complete my MA thesis, but I work for an art journal in Amsterdam. I also have a place in Antwerp, originally for work purposes. Now I keep it because I love the city and the people I know there. That may begin to illustrate my love for seeing, embodying and living the world and befriending some of its inhabitants. I also lived in Italy for a year, for the same reasons.

PHILOSOPHY

He's thinker on contemporary art and architecture, but he would like to be many other things. These things include: somebody who never has to go to bed, somebody who remembers everything he ever forgot, somebody who is able to reveal the projection screen, and to be unstuck in time. In other words, he is a para-scientist of the richness of truth. In the end, he'll appear as a seventh year student and an editor of a journal called Kunstlicht.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live together with 2 flatmates in an amazing place called Club Weltevree. We don't have a stable guest room but occasionally a room may be free, otherwise we have plenty floor in the living room and 2 matresses. We have a kitchen we aren't referring to as 'the lab', which I regret because it would definitely deserve to be called that. We have a balcony with a pseudo-garden and a hammock. We have a beamer to beam light into our movie hearts & souls. We have quite a sound system.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed quite often, always through other people's accounts. In various cities in the USA & Europe, and Istanbul.

Interests

I'm interested in modern & contemporary art, experimental music, literature, film, architecture, history, politics, although I don't know nearly enough about anything, at least not to my own standards:)
