Daniela Kasperer

Artist's country of origin: Finland

Daniela Kasperer’s (b. 1992) artistic practise explores the complexity of bodily-social issues and is rooted in practice-based research that is intuitive in nature. The process follows an approach that seeks the relationship between personal and collective issues, making it a reflective, subject-centred, as well as reflexive practice. She keens the Sauna as a utopian space, whereby the inner world separates from the outer world and reinvents itself.
