Tõnis Jürgens
Tõnis Jürgens (born in 1989 in Estonia) is an artist, writer, and cinema projectionist who mainly works with time-based media and installation.
His video works combine essays, poetic fragmentation, and the re-use of archive materials, and they are often expanded by scenographic spatial installations. Lately, he has been interested in the relations between sleep and the im/measurability of everyday life.
