Letta Shtohryn has got a background in Philosophy/Sociology (University of Vienna) and Photography (Art School Vienna). She completed her MFA at the University of Malta (2016) with a course onto a moving image practice. During her final MFA work, she explored metaphysical time - perceived on a small scale and compared to earth time, finding poetry in geophysical phenomena. She has shown her work at various art spaces IRL, online and off-site in Malta, Portugal and Iceland. <ref>https://www.evglettashtohryn.com/contact</ref>


<blockquote>"''Growing up between uncertain East and ordered West my art practice is a result of conflicting experiences of both. In my art practice, I investigate the structure and nature of reality. Frequently my work has time as an underlying theme and examines our relationship to space - personal, legal or perceived. I also engage with realities that are at odds with each other, whether it's dictatorial narrative, witness statements, paradoxes or a material that claims to be not what it seems.
<blockquote>"''Concerned with our relationship with the digital realm and human nature, I explore post-human thought, utilise post-digital reality and speculate about the future. As a method, I employ metaphysical investigations and aspects of digital culture using technology that I find familiarity with - from old media to new media and simulation video games.
Extending my research to the exploration of truth and myth, I look for processes and origins of the real and the artifice. In my works are investigations into the intersection of the digital and the tangible, looking at the relationship between digital technology and the human in a world increasingly governed by algorithms. I also explore gender and gender representation, as part of my identity is being a full-time woman.''" '''Letta Shtohryn''' <ref>http://evglettashtohryn.com/contact</ref></blockquote>


My work explores an area between states and between entities.  I am interested in the space within a point of change from one state to another, in the point of stillness turning into chaos. The research of in-between states also extends to areas like the balance of truth and myth; asks questions about the real and the artificial; explores the ontological existence of objects and plays with the state between the digital and the tangible; as well as looks for space between comfort and discomfort.

Throughout its course, my art research has been informed by various scientific epistemologies from ontology, philosophy of time, metaphysics to social sciences shaping works that have an autobiographical experience as a starting point.''"

"Concerned with our relationship with the digital realm and human nature, I explore post-human thought, utilise post-digital reality and speculate about the future. As a method, I employ metaphysical investigations and aspects of digital culture using technology that I find familiarity with - from old media to new media and simulation video games. Extending my research to the exploration of truth and myth, I look for processes and origins of the real and the artifice. In my works are investigations into the intersection of the digital and the tangible, looking at the relationship between digital technology and the human in a world increasingly governed by algorithms.
