What I can offer

What can I bring to the world?
It's a question about the unique value of art
I bring new views of the world
When it seems straightforward; nothing in art is straightforward.

I think about scientific methods that must only talk about facts
And about what I can offer to science;
I can open up areas where only scientific facts are brought to the discussion
While it is not a scientific discussion as such.
I can gather emotions and bring out all these other sides of the discussion.
And make them enactable somehow.

Quite often, what I offer is fresh eyes;
These fresh kinds of views
Where I am asking questions that are left to me
By articulating new viewpoints
I’m already changing something.

I can engage people differently
By bringing them into a situation
That might trigger something utterly different in themselves.

Sometimes I do this through collaboration and shared practice.
Sometimes I create platforms for discussions by making an object that raises them.
Sometimes I talk about my work to enable a discourse.

I am deeply involved in the actual production of the work
I produce productions under challenging circumstances
I can go over and beyond the expected
