Sten Saarits

Artist's country of origin: Estonia

Sten Saarits (born 1987) is an installation artist from Tallinn, Estonia. Currently living in Rotterdam, Netherlands. His works revolve around non-material propositions that in relation to the present viewers can bring perceivable phenomenons into existence. By using very uncommon methods, he constructs experiences of physical bodies and events through his installation works. He investigates how and why we interact with our surroundings the way we do – and how alterations in the chain of events can actually produce the same results as the unaltered. Sten has studied at the Estonian Academy of Arts and Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Over the course of past years he has exhibited his works and been involved in group projects in Estonia, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, France and Lithuania.
