Heta Bilaletdin is a multidisciplinary artist living in Helsinki. She works with sound, moving image, objects, and text. Her practice combines experimental film and animation, methods of collecting, spell-like repetition, soundscapes, and poetic arrangements of objects, textiles, food, and trash.
During recent years, she has been delving into topics such as wordless communication, magical objects, monuments, and iconoclasm. The undertone in her work is often political and planetary, exploring subtle connections, myths, daily dystopia, and hidden choreographies in our coexistence.
Bilaletdin works also in the field of sound art and experimental music. She uses samples, field recordings, singing, synthesizers, computers, found objects, and tape recorders as her main tools to create collages, beats, and musique concrète. She has performed at various events and festivals both in Finland and abroad.
Bilaletdin holds a BA degree from Turku Arts Academy and a Master's degree from The Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki. In 2023-2024 her work is supported by Koneen Säätiö.
