Short Introduction
A CADEmIA is my diploma project at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
It is a multimedia work developed from lived experience and artistic research, translating memory, surveillance, and transformation into spatial, visual, and sonic form.
Book, installation, and performance.
What is “A CADEmIA”
A CADEmIA is a three-part work that examines how experiences are inscribed into bodies, spaces, and systems.
Rather than narrating events directly, the project works with fragments, structures, and atmospheres.
It is to be experienced.
The Project in Three Parts
I. The Book — A CADEmIA
Structured as a triptych — PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE — it reflects different temporal states without revealing.
PAST addresses memory and trauma.
PRESENT focuses on reintegration and reflection.
FUTURE opens a space of projection, possibility, and creation of reality itself.
The book functions as container for embodied memory — similar to a dream that is felt, not seen.
II. Prisonball — Installation

III. Brazilian Techno Opera — Performance
The third part of A CADEmIA is a live performance developed in collaboration with
baritone Jakob Schad,
countertenor Nils Wanderer,
and sound designer Jonathan Freund.
The work combines electronic rhythm, techno structures, and vocal performance into a form of contemporary music theater.
The contemporary libretto explores tensions between nature and technology, control and embodiment, memory and system logic.
It is conceived as a social sculpture rather than a traditional stage work.
Current Status
A CADEmIA is my diploma project at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, developed during my studies and the performative time I spent in Brasil.
The book is in production.
The Prisonball installation is in its construction phase.
The techno opera is currently being composed and rehearsed.
Exhibition and performance contexts are in development.
