Hollow Weather moves between states of alienation, dissociation, and chronic fallacy, exploring the fascination that arises from the distance between ourselves and our lived experience. Through the language of the body, the work examines the emotional textures of living alone amongst many, and the intimacies that emerge within this spacious, dislocated terrain. Suspended between reality and imagination, Hollow Weather explores a world where connection is continually negotiated through bodies that do not rely on a shared language of vulnerability; where gestures of intimacy are translated, misread, or left unanswered.

Vorarephilia is a paraphilia defined by the erotic desire to consume or be consumed, or by an attraction to the act of eating itself. The term derives from the Latin vorare (“to swallow,” “to devour”) and the Ancient Greek philía (“love”). In its “soft vore” form, it often centres the fantasy of being swallowed whole — a desire that is impossible to satisfy, and therefore often only exists in the digital realm or within the imagination. Vorarephilia is conceived as a video artwork that focuses on the mouth, the gaze, and the relationship the watching eye. It understands vore as a desire indebted to an abstract emptiness: the longing to be completely consumed, immersed, suffused in something, and in doing so, be rendered perversely whole. The work interrogates what it means to stage an erotic impulse that can never be fulfilled, particularly within a society saturated by pornography and instant gratification.

Body as Resistance is a collaborative dance video and performance that meditates on the themes of pain, nostalgia, affection, and queerness. It conceives the body as an archive of lived experience — a site where tenderness and struggle coexist, where movement becomes both testimony and defiance.
Through choreographic dialogues of touch, tension, and release, the work traces the fragilty and resistance possible between intimacy and openness. It considers how gestures of care and vulnerability might emerge as radical acts, and how embodied memory can emerge through presence. Understood as a vital archival methodlogy, the videowork reflects on the enduring strength found in softness, pleasure, and care, as well as rage, pain, and community.
Ventriloquy
2025
Derived from the Latin venter (belly) and loqui (to speak), ventriloquy literally means “to speak from the stomach.” Historically linked to gastromancy, it described a ritual practice in which oracles interpreted inner voices as echoes of the dead or as prophecies. Later associated with “throwing one’s voice,” ventriloquism evokes the act of speaking through unseen or emerging presences.
Oryx approaches this practice as a physical actor, embodying a spectrum of characters, roles, and states with precision and depth—each arising from the gut and shaped by space, time, and physical circumstance. Ventriloquy unfolds through an often unsettling physical language, where the body becomes a conduit for shifting voices, characters, and imagined worlds—extending their choreographic inquiries into embodied storytelling and speculative world-building.

Hybridisation
Concept and Movement
Direction: Oryx
Performers for various collaborations: Lucie Froehlich, Can Etterlin, Kulshedra Dervish, Rio, Caro Sharkey,
Videography: tamu.fotos
Video Edit: Oryx
2024 - 2025
Hybridization explores movements, patterns, and qualities from both contemporary dance and martial arts, and attempts to deconstruct each movement practice. The body is pushed to its limits in a desire to find unexpected softness, and to use conflict or the fight as a device to explore possible intimacy. A reminder that in what may seem like strife and conflict we may strive to form consent, connection, tenderness, and vulnerability.

2025
An experimental film directed by Helena Praz that weaves together visual poetry and documentary-style interviews to explore themes of isolation, loneliness, belonging, intimacy, and the human search for release.
This experimental film is a meditative exploration of human vulnerability and connection. Through its hybrid format, Praz invites the viewer into a liminal space where the personal and the collective intersect — where the search for release, both emotional and physical, becomes a shared human experience. Fragmented yet intimate, the film resists linear narrative in favor of sensory immersion, allowing gestures, landscapes, and voices to carry the emotional weight. The result is a layered reflection on what it means to long for closeness in a world that often demands distance.
