Flis Holland

Flis Holland (FI/UK) uses sci-fi to find wiggle room within crisis. They work with live performance, video, and spoken word, often using mobile apps to stage and share their productions. In 2023 they are supported by Taike.


Mid-pandemic a large and fast-growing tumour mass appeared in my trans nonbinary uterus. I link its discovery to the fact that I’d recently eaten a meteorite. Its iron fragments interfered with my MRI scans, causing signal loss; the doctors were unable to see or diagnose my atypical womb. Now at HIAP I’ll probe this signal loss and my riotously reproductive uterine cells.

Flis Holland’s residency is part of the HIAP Residency Programme for Finnish and Finland-based artists and art professionals.
