Flo Kasearu (EE, b. 1985) is a Tallinn-based artist who studied Painting and Photography at the Estonian Academy of Arts and Multimedia at Universität der Künste Berlin. Known for her ironic take on social processes, Kasearu creates videos, drawings, paintings, installations, and performances, adapting her approach to various themes. Where her early work focused on tradition and national identity, her later projects have explored local political contexts, often working outside the scope of traditional gallery spaces.
Kasearu’s Thaw series features melting ice creams, symbolising the fragility of small businesses in Estonia – especially during the pandemic, when many had to close or adjust their operations significantly. This imagery, in turn, establishes a broader metaphor for resource depletion and ecological imbalance, highlighting issues of overproduction and consumerism while emphasising the urgency of climate change and environmental degradation.
