Pilvi Takala

The Stroker

The Stroker refers to the nickname Pilvi Takala received during her two week intervention at Second Home, a trendy co-working space in East London. She went around lightly touching people as part of a cutting-edge well-being programme. The nuances of movements and looks demonstrate how people negotiate 'acceptable behaviour' in the workspace.

Broad Sense

Broad Sense is based on an three day long intervention in the European Parliament in Brussels. The video reveals the diversity of security responses to the artist’s visits.

The Trainee

Artist Pilvi Takala goes undercover at a marketing department. Her intention was to do nothing until she was fired; hidden cameras catch the bewilderment with which her co-workers react to this.
