BIO
Judit Flóra Schuller (1991) is an artist working with images and texts. She obtained her Master of Arts degree from Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Helsinki (FI) in 2018. Her main interest is based on the topic of inherited (traumatic) remembrance and its effects on our personal and collective remembrance and identity. She often uses her own family heritage as a starting point, and by doing so she aims to approach a collective reconciliation with the unprocessed narratives of the past through personal, familial elements and micro-histories. Currently she is a doctoral candidate at the Contemporary Art department at Aalto University, where she explores the archive as an entity needing care and maintanance, contrasting it with the more active and life-centred caring work of motherhood.
In her experimental photographic works (Light Observation), she engages the question of visual perception through analogue interventions and constructions, by focusing on the observation of sunsets, re-created skyscapes and artificial light sources.
