A Visit to Tristan Elísabet Birta´s Studio

For our second installment in our series of studio visits we went to meet with Tristan Elísabet Birta in their cozy subterranean studio. Tristan is a 33-year-old visual and performance artist. They also make music under the artist name AfterpartyAngel. While their artistic work tackles complex and multifaceted topics such as identity, gender, and femininity, it is always infused with a sense of playfulness and a touch of the fantastical. We had a conversation with Tristan about life, their creative path and artistic vision.
