About the Artist
Pilvi Takala, born in Helsinki, Finland in 1981, is an internationally acclaimed performance artist and filmmaker whose incisive practice involves infiltrating and observing various social environments. Takala's methodology often sees her embedding herself in specific communities or workplaces, subtly testing boundaries and unspoken rules, then documenting the often-uncomfortable or revealing reactions that follow. Her work provides a piercing commentary on social norms, power structures, and the absurdities of daily life, inviting viewers to critically examine their own compliance with established systems. Through her unique blend of humor and critical observation, Takala unveils the hidden dynamics that govern human interaction.
