Danny (he/him), planetvillager, is a queer interdisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in the body as both medium and message. His work navigates corporeality, duality, and embodied presence, interrogating the ideological architectures that seek to standardize, discipline, and mute the human form.

Since 2010, planetvillager has engaged the nude body as a site of observation and resistance through long-standing work as a life model within ateliers and artistic collectives.
From 2024 onward, his practice expanded into performance, where flesh, gesture, and duration converge.

Drawing from acting and extensive stage experience, he constructs performances that treat the body as a living archiveβ€”an expressive terrain of sensation, vulnerability, emotion, and visibility. In his work, the body is not reduced to matter or doctrine, but emerges as a complex assemblage capable of transcending imposed narratives and reaching heightened artistic states.

The human body as a visual medium for emotions, feelings, and thoughts, which he manifests as pride and a celebration for free expression in the modern world.Β Disconnected from any labels.The pure and true form of self-expression without any taboos or barriers

The deconstruction of dogmaβ€”particularly those embedded within social and political ideologiesβ€”recurs throughout planetvillager’s oeuvre. By reframing normative perspectives, his work exposes the distortions through which contemporary society perceives bodies and identities, and the resulting fractures in authentic selfhood. Refusing categorization and resisting spectacle for its own sake,

planetvillager adopts an investigative, poetic approach. At its core, his practice is an act of devotion: a romanticization and adoration of the human body in its totality, offered as both subject and sovereign presence.
