About
Why this artist matters now
Steina is an Icelandic artist whose practice encompasses video, installation, and performance. Working since the 1970s, she has developed a distinctive approach to moving-image and spatial work that engages with technology, perception, and the body in real time. Her installations often integrate live video feeds, sculptural elements, and architectural intervention to create immersive environments that challenge the viewer's sense of presence and spatial orientation.
