Anywheres: Performances, Objects (2017- ongoing)

This series reflects on how globally mobile elites – what David Goodhart refers to as the "Anywheres"– increasingly detach themselves from the societies they influence and, in many cases, shape. I include myself in this category: individuals who live with relative freedom to choose where to reside, where to work, and what to leave behind. We move across borders with ease, guided by lifestyle, opportunity, tax advantages, or legal loopholes, often unaware of the more profound consequences our choices leave in their wake.

The works in this series, installations of moving boxes in public parks, compressed packing materials, adaptable furniture like modular libraries and tables, and video recordings of moving processes, are not merely metaphors for relocation. They are instruments for thinking about a class of people who are deeply involved in shaping the economic, cultural, and political structures of society, while remaining largely unaccountable to the communities affected by those structures.

In today's world, power is increasingly exercised through markets, data, and digital platforms, not through direct governance or physical control. The new elite – investors, designers, consultants, creatives, tech entrepreneurs – can live in Lisbon, code in Tulum, manufacture in Tunisia, and sell in Milan, all while remaining socially and politically unanchored. From afar, they influence housing markets, labour conditions, urban development, and cultural economies, without living the consequences of those decisions.

As an artist and an "Anywhere" myself, I feel compelled to examine this condition critically. These works are a response to the paradox of influence without proximity, of decision-making at a distance. They ask: What happens when those who hold the most power are no longer embedded in the communities whose lives they affect? What responsibilities are lost when belonging is optional?

This series does not offer answers; it stages the question, materially and visually. The boxes, the movement, the modularity: they all speak to a way of life that can go anywhere, but rarely stays. And in that freedom lies a troubling kind of disconnection.
