WHAT DID I JUST DO?
What did I just do? unfolds as a stream of memories where personal history, inherited memory and the present moment continuously reshape one another.
Performed through the body, the work asks how identity is formed—not only by what we remember, but by what has been carried before us.

CEREMONI(E)
What is a ceremony when we no longer know its purpose?
Ceremoni(e) is an improvised performance created by vocalist Girilal Baars and artist and performer Maud Karlsson Lima de Faria.
The two artists enter a ceremony without knowing why it is needed.
Only that it is.
Not because it has been forgotten, but because it has yet to reveal itself.
Through voice, movement and deep listening, the work unfolds in the moment.
Nothing is predetermined.
Each performance becomes a unique encounter shaped by presence, intuition and the relationship between the performers, the space and the audience.
Duration: approximately 40 minutes.
Adaptable to different venues and contexts.

HER SELF - A PORTRAIT
What happens when we become aware of being watched?
Her Self – A Portrait explores the fragile relationship between self-image and the gaze of others through a 13min interactive video artwork.
A woman inside a portrait gradually discovers that someone is watching her. At first she is flattered and eager to please. But as she tries to shape herself through the eyes of the viewer, something begins to shift. Her reflected image slowly falls out of sync, and what once felt affirming becomes unsettling.
The work explores the subtle choices we make to remain within the roles we create for ourselves—and those created by others.
Who is looking?
Who is being looked at?
Who is shaping whom?
And ultimately:
Who is Her Self?
The work continues in Her Selfie – A Social Closet, where the gaze shifts from the individual viewer to the mechanisms of social media.

HER SELFIE - A SOCIAL CLOSET
What happens when we are constantly being watched?
Her Selfie – A Social Closet explores the fragile boundary between curiosity and surveillance, between self-presentation and exposure.
The work follows a woman who enters what first appears to be a luxurious walk-in closet. Fascinated by its technology, she gradually discovers that the space has a will of its own. What begins as play slowly transforms into a struggle for control.
Created as an interactive video installation, the work invites the audience into the experience.
At a decisive moment, the woman succeeds in turning the camera away from herself. The gaze shifts. The audience suddenly becomes part of the artwork, confronting their own role as both observer and observed.
Her Selfie – A Social Closet explores visibility, digital identity and the desire to be seen — and to disappear.
