My philosophical research began with a specific interest in impossible languages. I dove deeply into Derek Bickerton’s critique of Noam Chomsky, exploring the limits of what can and cannot be said, and the biological and cognitive boundaries of linguistic creativity. From there, my work shifted toward the theory of action, culminating in a PhD dissertation that investigated the very specificity of human sociality: what makes our form of being-together uniquely ours, and how that specificity is both constructed and constantly renegotiated. From the very beginning, I have been preoccupied with the human/animal distinction, with anthropocentrism and animal ethics. This naturally led me into posthuman thought and everything that attempts to describe the proper and improper specifics of Homo sapiens. I have always hybridized my research with art, architecture, and creative disciplines in general, as well as with the search for alternative epistemologies. In my books, articles, exhibitions, and various research projects, I have consistently analyzed the human form of life in its entirety: starting from its animal and vegetal boundaries, moving through its entanglements with non-human agencies, and then focusing on alternative methodologies for the government of the self. My work is an attempt to think the human not as a fixed essence, but as a porous, hybrid, and always becoming entity—one that can only be understood by continuously questioning its own edges, its exclusions, and its creative possibilities for reinvention. This trajectory has never been linear. It is a spiral that keeps returning to the same fundamental questions—What is human? What is not? What could it become?—while expanding the tools and fields through which those questions are asked. Philosophy, for me, is not a discipline confined to texts; it is a practice of living, designing, and imagining otherwise, always in dialogue with the more-than-human world that both constitutes and exceeds us.
