Box Seats. Ridadevaheline plows a field of blurry authorship and intertextuality, – with attention to things that are tucked away yet held on to. Picking up the role of an indecisive detective, De Jaeger interrogates these objects-in-rest as vessels and fictional catalysts that must contain a multitude of narratives.

Laura De Jaeger (1995) is an artist working between Tallinn and Brussels. Through gathering, casting and paraphrasing, she searches how the quotidian charges and reshapes objects and spaces. De Jaeger approaches artistic practice as a platform that can be writing, inviting, and organizing as well as material. She holds an MA in fine arts (LUCA School of Arts / EKA), in Cultural Studies (KU Leuven) and has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Belgium, Estonia, Finland and Germany. In 2023, she received the yearly award from Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
