Evi Pärn is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tallinn, Estonia. Her practice examines communication, power relations, and social structures through performative, spatial, and time-based works. She is particularly interested in how language, visibility, and access are produced and regulated within interpersonal, institutional, and public contexts.
Working across performance, video, installation, augmented reality, and documentary forms,
Pärn often approaches the artwork as a situation rather than an object. The body, guided participation, and mediated perception function as tools for making abstract structures — such
as sociolinguistic hierarchies, institutional authority, labour, and precarity — experientially
tangible. Personal material, including memory and biography, intersects with broader political
and cultural systems.
Documentation plays a central role in her practice, not merely as a record but as an extension
of the work itself. Through layered formats and shifts in perspective, her works invite viewers to confront processes of inclusion and exclusion, legibility and opacity, empathy and distance.
She has curated exhibitions and collaborated with theatres and interdisciplinary art projects,
and is a member of the Estonian Artists’ Association.
