To Swallow the Self. A Joint Essay Exploring an Interdisciplinary Creative Process
Published: 05.08.2025
A joint essay written after the author's creative residency in Lisbon and connected to their collaborative project Wearable Poetry, which received the Audience Award at this year’s "SMCK ON REEL" event in Munich.
The essay explores an interdisciplinary creative process that brings together aspects of contemporary jewelry art, poetry, and a sense of place. We discuss how a pre-planned video work transformed into a living archive, where the city became not a metaphorical but a direct co-author of the piece. We reflect on site-specific practices, somatic responses to the environment, melancholy, the figure of the doppelgänger, urban soundscapes, and the embodiment of poetry through material and gesture. An unexpected reflection emerges on the archive – not as a collection of objects or records, but as a space of bodily actions, sounds, and momentary encounters.
