VISUAL ARTIST
Kotryna Buruckaitė (b. 1992) - is a Lithuanian visual artist/filmmaker currently based in Amsterdam. In her work she investigates humans in atypical settings. Fascinated by the pleasure of observing others, Kotryna interrogates one’s interpersonal relationship with the world. With a touch of fiction and absurdity to it, she questions the worlds given “set of rules’’ and the illogical nature of the man. Her work deviates between enhancing casual anomalies and understanding one’s feelings: a healthy suspicion that things are not the way they’re supposed to be and the inner motivation to act against (to misbehave).
