What would your Child be if you didn’t have human kid(s)? I was high up in the air on the plane to Helsinki when I first initiated this post. It is in the aftermath of our collective workshop-ritual that I connect new knowledge with visual memoirs.

At the Helsinki’s University of Arts 23-26 February 2025 for the NSU winter symposium, I invited participants to together embody this ENQUIRY

What is your alternative Child?

《Results and dynamic memories, thank you all !》

aftermath images of 《Alternative Child》

but that day we’ve landed in this room to manifest something concrete.

sexy to you…

I asked the first question.

I learned about micro-sex and the truth lying in energy…

I long deepest for …that kind of love

I asked the second question.

I heard what really matters…

his (unexpected) question to me

then he asked me something.

It was a personal trip backwards and back in the now: through dynamic images and narratives.

between the lines

a reminder to-the-core came out-of-the-blue.

…and?

my (unexpected) question to him

…and then suddenly I knew how we proceed

In the very end

,,,he asked me about the objects.

He: “what are these?“

Me: “this one here is a n authentic wooden “nail” for building traditional boats. It’s like a core to design, to stability, robustness. But there’s always “more” to traditions than we know… historically. Cause every object is deeply rooted in a rich context it belonged to.

And that one is a stick of joy. Used for BDSM and sexual rituals.“

He: “wait. so these two… it’s actually the other way around to what I had thought?

Interesting!!“

this is not a conclusion

… rather my free association to a film//story/philosophy  {inspired by my meeting with him} 

I have been processing, editing, living this interview during my bus trip to Berlin.

The image came. Heart()Ego. Light()Shadow. Endless overlaps in the shape of an almond. The almond is the core. I first heard of the word in a book by Robert A. Johnson ‘Owning your own shadow‘.

In Berlin I was going to Xplore… and meet my beloved friend that once gave me the book… and stay with a friend I’ve been creating immersive performances with. Overlaps of Gold. Berlin made an imprint that rooted itself deep under my skin.

“(…) they can both be there at the same time.” – he said.

And that’s what I’ll take with me… – to the next interview.

This interview series revolves around two core questions: ‘what is sexy?’ and ‘deepest love dream’, as in unique life scripts of a human being,
