My work often begins with a question:

Is that so?

I’m Yanthe, an artist interested in things we think we already understand, until the way we look at them shifts slightly. An island. An older person. A dance. A community. Chaos. Data. The thing itself may not change, but our reading of it does.

I build situations in which that shift can happen.

Sometimes the starting point is an existing structure: a place, a story, a social habit, a piece of infrastructure, a movement, a body. A relatively small intervention can change how that structure is experienced. A bus shelter becomes a room. A heartbeat becomes part of a collective soundscape. A private dance leaves traces through sensors and code.
What interests me is the moment when something familiar becomes unstable enough to be seen again.

Perception

I am increasingly interested in wider forms of perception: how a body experiences a space, how a sensor witnesses movement differently from a camera, how a community sounds when listened to through heartbeats rather than opinions, how absence can become information, and how incomplete perspectives can sit beside each other without being forced into one truth.

Many works involve many people. Others may happen within a small group of people, objects or signals. Scale is not what gives the work weight. I am interested in the precision of the encounter.

Again and again, I return to existing structures and ask what happens if they are tilted a few degrees.

A small change.
A different reading.
Another way of being present.

What Drives Me

• Collaboration: My work thrives on dialogue—with people, spaces, and ideas.

• Exploration: I’m drawn to gaps and intersections in society—places where history, beliefs, and corporate landscapes collide with human stories.

• Sustainability: Creating art that grows organically and continues without me is my ultimate goal.

Highlights from My Work

• Heartbeat of the World: Recording and weaving heartbeats into an intimate sound installation.

• On Order and Chaos: Exploring self-organization through a live research project with tractors.

• Everdina, Nellie & the Caravan: A community project bringing people together to craft and share new stories.

• I am Esme and I Live at IKEA: A playful, thought-provoking dialogue on consumer culture and identity.

Join the Journey

I’d love to connect with you—whether it’s to collaborate, discuss ideas, or simply share in the adventure of creativity. Together, we can shape new stories and uncover the beauty of the unexpected. Let’s create something meaningful.
