About
Marit Mihklepp
Marit Mihklepp is an Estonian artist and researcher whose work explores the interconnectedness of the human and non-human worlds, with a particular focus on the often overlooked—whether too far, too small, or too slow. Based in both Estonia and The Netherlands, her practice spans instructed experiences, performative lectures, microbial perfumes, video pieces, and listening exercises. Recently, her work has delved into geologic imagination and our encounters with stones, featured in exhibitions such as Radical Symbiosis: The Social Life of Microbes (RADIUS, NL) and The Death Began in Autumn (Casa Lü, MX). Marit is also a member of Haagse Kunstenaars and the Estonian Artists’ Association, and she co-founded the artist initiative Stone Network with Anna Bierler.

The Longest Movie Ever Made
How to enter the time of stone? How to get in touch with the geologic imagination? Stones are everywhere, yet it is difficult to see inside of them. We are like butterflies to stones, as they cannot be quite sure if we ever existed or not. We carry their mineral ancestry in our bones and blood, we dream of becoming fossils in their generous bodies for someone else to discover in the future. It is hard to be a stone, it takes billions of years of practice.
