My flux activation's are influenced by the Fluxus art movement from the 1960' where I walk the streets and immerse my body into it's architecture as a form of pinpointing locations. I have always been fascinated with street spaces as platform for micro choreographic actions, so I insert myself as a form of occupying city streets and spaces.
