Artist statement: Marit Mihklepp (Invest)

Marit Mihklepp is exploring the processes of movement and writing, imagination and the everyday, absurd and sincerity. Her works are a collection of associations that support her process of moving and thinking with (in/on/under) the body (city/objects/micro organisms). During her MA studies at the ArtScience Interfaculty she started a research on the structures of the human body, language and behaviour in connection with other (non)life forms. The audience is introduced to the slow-breathing of other organisms, to the intimacy and one-to-one experience, to the transformation from the known to the unexpected. Mihklepp wants to create space for alternative languages and symbiotic identities. She is mapping the extinct forms of communication: interviews with a chair, conversations with a slime mould, olfactory collaborations with microbes. Mihklepp's mediums are mixtures of open experiments, growing forms and classical methods: performative lectures, books/presentations in a matchbox, writings on the human body, photo albums with the micro organisms, perfume collections of human odour.
