Light for Biodiversity
2026 
An insect-friendly light intervention that transforms a shared urban courtyard into a carefully attuned nocturnal space, balancing human presence with the needs of nocturnal insects and other non-human life.  Through subtle adjustments of light spectrum of existing street lamps, the project reshapes everyday illumination into a collective act of care.  The on-site workshops turn the site into a temporary learning environment, where participants actively participate in testing, reflecting on, and shaping alternative practices of urban lighting together.

An immersive installation with a controlled environment, offering a personal experience to breathe completely dust-free air.   By eliminating dust at a microscopic level, the installation provides a unique sensory experience of purified air, making the usually imperceptible systems of air control and environmental regulation physically tangible.

Weisser Fleck
2024 
A living artwork, a scientific experiment, and a conceptual challenge to urban maintenance practices, this project 'draws' a 10-meter diameter circle on the façade of a housing block in Vienna by the thin layer of microorganisms that have accumulated on its surface.

Airsight Deck
2022 
An interactive installation in public space that makes invisible environmental changes visible. How does the air around us change with the seasons—its color shifting in winter, summer heat, inversion, or smog? The installation presents twelve atmospheric scenarios, each revealing different levels of air pollution throughout the year.
