Lyy Raitala (1999, Oulu)
Lyy Raitala (1999) is a Finnish artist living in the Netherlands. She works with video, photography, and spatial installation, and stages reality through composed scenes and interventions in space. She is interested in the friction between control and care, how objects, systems, and spaces quietly witness our lives. Spatial experience is at the center of her practise and the spaces don’t only appear as a backdrop but as actors revealing choreographies of labour, care, and efficiency.

Laurynas Skeisgiela (1994, Kaunas)
Laurynas Skeisgiela (b. 1994) is an artist, filmmaker, and curator living in Vilnius. In 2013-2017 he studied at Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts (Department of Photography and Media Arts) and Stuttgart State Academy of Arts (Photography).
He is the co-founder of a meeting room "Lokomotif" in Lentvaris, Lithuania. During the long-lasting project, curators are working as an alternative cultural organism inside the town and helping to question, recall and reimagine the identity of the place.
In recent years, Laurynas, together with cinema editor Anne Hovad Fisher has been making a documentary film about the complex and paradoxical world surrounding the making-of of the famous, ecology-thematized Lithuanian pavilion "Sun and Sea (Marina)", presented at the Venice Biennale 2019. While cinema and curating are a place of collaboration, his individual artistic practice most often takes the form of video and light installations, currently with a theme of mimicry in the fields of nature and culture.
