Description

Mari-Leen Kiipli (born in 1988) creates photographs, videos and installations that focus mainly on the unspoken, cognitive features of spaces and situations. With her inventive and fascinating installations, she sharpens the viewer's attention to light, transparency, reflections, shadows, colour, sharpness, texture, movement, sound and other perceptible qualities. She uses various materials, found objects, plants, and slow-motion videos to do this.

The artist photographed the series "The School of Dreams" for four years (2012-2016) by visiting various hostels in Estonia. The series title refers to the second chapter of Hélène Cixous' book "Three Steps on the Ladder of Writing" that talks about the crucial role dreams play in literary inspiration and output. "We go toward the best known unknown thing, where knowing and not knowing touch, where we hope we will know what is unknown. Where we hope we will not be afraid of understanding the incomprehensible, facing the invisible, hearing the inaudible, thinking the unthinkable. […] This dream state where suddenly, obeying an unknown need, you burn the house down, you push a friend off the top of the mountain. Did you do it? Of course you did. (You're the one sleeping, you're the one dreaming.) Your act, your very own act, done with complete freedom, an act by you - without your conscience - naturally."
