Isabella Séville Fürnkäs (b. 1988, Tokyo, Japan) is an artist who works in a variety of media. The body of work involves equal shares of multi-media installation, video, performance and drawing. In her multi-layered oeuvre she addresses questions of physical and spatial intimacy, the influence of digitalization on interpersonal relationships, and the transformation of social communication patterns.

Fürnkäs investigates visual spaces of our present and creates contextual shifts that echo our own vulnerabilities. In the context of her works, inner images and multi-layered questions are transformed into a repertoire of media-reflexive actions via performative, installative and time-based techniques.

Experimental by nature her works involve a subtle comparison of the individual and its society, creating situations of disruption and (re-) creation. By using a wide range of materials such as glass, epoxy-coated cloth, fluids, fabrics or pottery in combination with audio, video and performance, her works open up to potential mental spheres beyond the familiar, in the unexpected state of being in-between.
