When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace- Jimi Hendrix.

Unknown for talking bodies asks how pleasure can be ethical and responsible action towards the environment and everything that lives and is. By using ecstatic birthing practices as a main reference, it wants to find out how could birth be seen as a possibility and potential for empowerment. The work aims to bring the attention of the spectator also towards their own bodies. It wants to stop in the middle and inside of the doing to sense and observe of what is (happening) and the being of the happening.

As a performer she has worked in Marina Abramovics work in Serpentine Galleries and Maresa Von Stockerts work in England and France.
Artistically Eeva is interested in using different and a bit odd reference materials as part of the creation processes, as well as processes which include learning something new. These have included so far for example drying plants long term and studying ecstatic birthing practices. She researches topics of her work holistically through psychoanalysis, philosophy, materialism, poetry, feminist and mundane viewpoints. Combining everyday life with abstract/magical/imagination is an interest for her in artistic work. Often Eeva researches the relations between body and environment, body and movement, body and materials as well as performer and audience. She also uses breath and writing as tools to create choreography.
