absolute interiority | a series of experimental jacquard woven textiles
thoughts of space, mental space - dreams and spaces of desire.
interior as a space of consciousness to imagination. a layered, blurry space.
how do we think of the world outside of ourselves, the known and the unknown?
how do we think, feel and imagine the world?
subjectivity. a series of transitions, intermediate space. between inside and outside, identities. amalgamation. metamorphoses.

Space Department Nara | Japan | Artist-in-Residence 2025
Gabi got invited to be an architect-in-residence at the 'Space Department Nara' in Japan for spring 2025.
'Space Department' is an artist-in-residence programme dedicated to supporting local and international artists and architects. It is a place where people can live, collaborate, research, test, make, exhibit and share ideas while being inspired by the ancient historic city of Nara, Japan. The department´s mission is to encourage the growth of contemporary art and artists in Nara City and to engage with the local community in relation to artistic expressions related to "space", while being inspired by the lessons of the ancients and the sensibilities of Japanese culture.
The space is located in a renovated 90-year-old farmhouse near the world heritage sites of Toshodai-ji and Yakushi-ji in Nara.

ダイロッカン:dai6okkan 2024 | 6okken – Yamanashi, Japan | Residency Art Festival
6okken will hold a month-long residency art festival 'dai 6okkan 2024' from March 1 – 31, 2024. 18 artists are invited to join the artist residency (March 18 – 31) and the art festival (March 30 – 31).
Since 2022, 6okken has been operating an 'artist-run residence' in Kawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, based in six cottages, where living/expressive activities/management are combined, participating in art festivals across the country, collaborating with art institutions worldwide, and developing and practicing camp-based workshops.
Through cross-disciplinary dialogue with the 'outside', we are working to increase the number of'perspectives that would disappear from the world if we let go of them' and the environment to protect them.
Artists from abroad will participate in the camp, making it a site for artistic practice that transcends language barriers. In addition to the main programme mentioned above, the camp will propagate knowledge, inspiration and networks of new artistic practices from the foot of Mt Fuji through exchange programmes with people from art festivals, universities and cultural organizations from Japan and abroad, community lunches with local people and online transmission throughout the month.
