Ingel Vaikla

Ingel Vaikla (b. 1992, Tallinn) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Brussels, working primarily with video, 16mm analogue film, and found footage. Her artistic practice focuses on rethinking the representation of architecture through the relationship between spaces and their communities. Vaikla continuously explores a visual language that goes beyond merely observing architecture as a sculptural form, aiming instead to translate the existential, conceptual, and ideological qualities that spaces embody. Her films—The House Guard, Roosenberg, Double Exposure, Papagalo, What's the Time?, EUR42, and Moi aussi, je regarde—have been screened internationally at film festivals and art institutions, including IDFA in Amsterdam, AFFR in Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Wien, EKKM in Tallinn, Beursschouwburg and Bozar in Brussels, Manifesta 13 in Marseille, Videonale in Bonn, Tramway in Glasgow, EMAF in Osnabrück, and the Busan International Video Art Festival, among others.
