In her mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­na­ry prac­ti­ce Maria Klaassen-Andrianova explo­res the noti­ons of cul­tu­ral iden­ti­ty, nati­ve lan­gu­a­ge, migra­ti­on and sen­se of belon­ging against the back­drop of today’s socio-poli­ti­cal con­text. She inter­wea­ves her per­so­nal obser­va­ti­ons and memo­ries with lived expe­rien­ces of others and lay­ers them into cri­ti­cal, deli­ca­te visu­al works — some­ti­mes ela­bo­ra­te and sto­ry-like, some­ti­mes sharp and laco­nic. With the nar­ra­ti­ve and docu­men­ta­ry metho­do­lo­gies at the core of her artis­tic prac­ti­ce she uses subt­le, poe­tic lan­gu­a­ge, fic­ti­on and iro­ny throug­hout her films, per­for­man­ces, sound works and inter­ven­ti­ons in public spaces.
