Britt Kootstra (1976) graduated with a B.A. in Mixed Media from AKI, art academy in Enschede (1998-2001), and with a Masters in Fine Arts from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (2002-2004). Her work shows itself as ‘tableaux vivants’, either in hand processed analogue films, filminstallations or live cinema performances in which seemingly everyday places and events seperate themselves from our world. Since 2009, she works and lives in Finland, where she founded the artist run filmlab Filmverkstaden.
