His practice mixes sculpture and performance to engage with lost futures and failed dreams, it explores and brings to life the alternative version of unrealized histories of space.

Forme Uniche interviewed the curatorial duo composed of Sara van Bussel and Manuela Nobile.
Updating a famous interview granted by Achille Bonito Oliva to Frigidaire, we asked the curators to bare themselves, thanks to the complicity of the photographer Lady Tarin, to discover how curating is today a fundamental path, rich in skills and in need of real coherence between actions and words. The experience has become a poster produced by Made in Mind, which can be purchased in a limited series on our online shop.
