Insa Schülting is a visual artist living in Düsseldorf, Germany. Her works are characterized by their use of a wide range of media and their content primarily deals with art and heritage, landscapes and resources. She is interested in the diverse manifestations and traces that are related to everyday practices, historical events, natural processes, as well as their conditions and interactions.

„My time-based artworks, which blend poetic and analytical elements, are about different approaches to concepts of nature, change and return. In Kintai, I want to explore methods, images and narratives that we use to describe, explain and value the world of migratory-birds. In dialogue
with other artists, inhabitants and local institutions, I would like to address scientific as well as imaginary and personal perspectives about human-Bird relations.”

▶ Insa Schülting, along with Vittoria Quartararo, Aurélie D’Incau, Nura Afnan-Samandari and Iliyana Grigorova was participating in a residency programme „Feast of the Birds”. Unfolding as an international and interdisciplinary laboratory, the residency was hosting five artists who were exploring the rich diversity of birds in the Curonian area. The fleeting nature of birds and landscapes serves as the starting point for this open process, which is being complemented by artist talks, presentations, workshops, and other forms of artistic research, organized in collaboration with the inhabitants of Kintai.
