Liina Kuittinen (b.1983)

As an artist I am on my all fours. I am next to the ground. I see the surface from a very short distance, the small particles and the space between them. As an artist I have to move my whole body closer to the object if I want to see it more clearly. I am on my four so my hands are not swinging freely. I am not able to take the object in my hand and bring it closer to my eye. I have to take my eye closer to the object.

The main materials in my practice are body and performance. Performance is for me about going on in the world. It is about happening, taking place, about moving and changing.
