Artist’s Statement
I do my art like I do my magick: to make a change, to understand the universe and its order and disorder. I mostly do ritual art and things like shamanism and yoga are part of my working. At the same time, I express my own dreams of childhood and desires of adulthood like being a princess and your own god, pee in punch and look like a hooker.
I have been attracted to searching enjoyment and finding pleasure in different acts that can be stigmatized as oddness. I'm mixing sexual energy, spiritual acts (like yoga, mantras, meditation etc.) and rituality, playing with themes like "dirtyness" and "becoming clean" by showing primitive and spiritual energy as equal or even the same. What are similarities between both's flows, giving ego away and in satisfaction or trance. At the moment, I see in gender minorities the reflection of divine or sacred genders, like hindu gods' feminine and masculine parts or an angel's gender. That is my inspiration: finding my own divine form.
I do mainly solo performances, but I also perform in duetto with Viljami Nissi and in group called Deus ex machina. When I do solo, suprises are extremely important. It can first seem that you are preparing yourself to meditate, but then suddenly you are handcuffed with leather paws and eating chicken. In duettos, I am more interested in tension between performers. Pair improvisation is a fluent part of performance, because of the value of the surprise.
I do performance art because I want to learn something about life. I want to make my life rich of experiences by doing things that many are scared to do because of norms and their own egos. I conceive myself as a researcher: how this world works and how the universe is built. In video art, I show more of characters and different kind of worlds.
