Ilze Mazpane

Ilze Mazpane is a performance artist from Riga, Latvia, with a background in philosophy, experimental theatre, art education, and creative writing. Ilze creates site-specific durational performances characterized by poeticism, a preoccupation with structure, and minimal means of expression. In her work, she seeks freedom from the tyranny of clock time and therefore explores pure duration (A. Bergson), kairos or the right moment, the right balance (Aristotle), and the concept of flow (M. Csikszentmihalyi).
