Essi Kausalainen
studied performance art and performance theory at Turku Arts Academy and the Theater Academy of Finland. Since 2000 Kausalainen has performed in numerous festivals around the world (Europe, Asia, America), and has had three solo exhibitions in Helsinki (2007, 2008 and 2010).
Statement:
In my work I explore the human body/being in relation to the space that surrounds it. I'm interested in the physical experience of being (body as a space, body as an action, body as an identity). The pieces are often based on a slow process of making (of becoming).
They built a poetic language of images, gestures and spaces - a language that invites the audience into a gentle dialogue. The medium of my work varies from performance and installation to drawing and video.
