Flis Holland (UK/FI) tracks the collisions of trans and celestial bodies. Using video, apps, and audio tours they try to resist visual capture and categorisation, to loosen the link between seeing a body and knowing it.

Holland’s solo exhibition “Off-Colour” was at Helsinki Art Museum in 2023 and developed as HIAP artist in residence 2022-23. Recent group shows include Oulu Art Museum, Pori Biennial, Titanik Gallery, exhibition platform Pitted Dates and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, and screenings at Helsinki International Film Festival, Kasseler Dokfest and Buenos Aires International Independent Film Festival.

They hold a Master’s in Fine Art and a Master’s in Aerospace Engineering with Astronautics.
