Residency artists and researchers Media and video art Essi Kausalainen Performance and visual artist (MA) This past autumn, I have been paying particular attention to the practices surrounding my works – to their form and the processes associated with their creation – and I have decided to explore new forms of expression. At the Saari Residence, my intention is to continue this process on a concrete level: I am sketching the outlines for a new performance and filming video material for a future private exhibition. I have no particular plans regarding filming as they fluctuate from day to day. I hope to get my work flowing at the Residence and to produce something new and surprising as a result.
