Bio

Eliisa Loukola (b. 1997, Finland) investigates traces, (dis)appearances and embodied memories. She relies on writing as methodology and discusses authorship through dealing with found objects as archives of memory in themselves. Through the investigation and reconcideration of traces she aims to create a language of acts, one where collecting as well as portrait-painting gain the function of sentences through repetition.

Eliisa Loukola is part of the collective “Department of Collective Collaborations”, together with Tianyi Zheng, Ida Leitjing and Lena Longefay.

She holds Masters in Fine Art from HKU MAFA, Utrecht and a BA from Academie Minerva, Groningen.
