Catalogue of Resistance, Intimacy and Pause
  



    ‘Catalogue of Resistance, Intimacy and Pause’ explores time through the lens of crip theory — a framework in the intersection of disability and queer studies that questions cultural ideals of independence, productivity and normalcy. The project takes the form of a human-sized, three-dimensional book that visitors can physically explore. Each translucent page layers the designer’s research, including Riso-printed posters and traces of collective experiments. Enclosed in a cover featuring reflective typography and personal videos, the book also acts as a sculptural environment offering spaces to rest, a refuge from the constant demand for performance.The project both documents and creates an environment in which refusal and opacity are radical, political acts. By rethinking value, time and presence through the lived experience of disability and chronic illness, it gestures toward the futures we are already making in the cracks of the present.

Photographs document extreme cold in the Arctic Circle, frozen as one-kilo sheets of ice.



By using ice as a material, the book conveys the transience and fragility of its contents.

PYRY is a project on the feeling of cold. Absurd and yet simple: a book made of ice.



Unlike other books, this one must be stored at a temperature below 0°C. The effort involved is symbolic of the efforts that must be made to preserve the Earth’s cold zones.
This project started at the Lapin Yliopisto | University of Lapland and was developed as bachelor project at the media design departement at DHBW Ravensburg



AUTO-biografie is reflecting auto-ethnographically the German relationship with and to cars. 








AUTO-biografie


 A personal, autobiographical narration deconstructed and materialised in a book - made of deconstructed car parts.

        ise is a media designer and book artist based in Rotterdam. She begins from a place of feeling, with a sensitivity to people, atmospheres, and the contexts in which communication takes place. Her work moves across experimental book forms, participatory workshops, public formats, and visual communication, translating complex social, cultural, and emotional contexts into shared experiences.
       With a background in Contextual Design, she understands design and artistic practice as tools for making sense of the world and for cultural critique. Through objects, images, and situations, she approaches authorship as a form of responsibility, using narrative and imagination to create spaces for collective reflection. 

She is an external lecturer in book design at MdRV (Cooperative State University Baden-Württemberg, Ravensburg) and a mentor and coach in filmmaking at the intersectional feminist project GIRLS GO MOVIE in Mannheim, Germany.
