In 𝘎𝘦𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴, Eve Kiiler explores the shared space between humans and plants as a process of co-growth, linking the city with the surrounding landscape. Plant communities take centre stage in her latest photographic series, which ranges from portraits of individual plants to group compositions and documentary-style images that place them within their spatial context.

The photographs capture urban gardens where every square meter is carefully structured through strict geometries, alongside in-between landscapes and more freely designed gardens where diverse plant communities converge. Presented in series, Kiiler’s works unfold like urban short stories or visual micro-dramas.

𝗘𝘃𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 (b. 1960) is an artist, curator, teacher, and an active advocate for photography as a medium. Her work focuses on changes in urban landscapes and public space, as well as on observing visitors in museums and exhibition settings.
Her solo exhibitions include Urban Observations: Fenced Garden City (2016), Looking through the Windows (2018), Old and New Neighbours (2019), Location Scouting by the Sea (2020), All Roads Lead to the Sea (2021) and Alone in the City (2022), all of which explore urban environments in Tallinn and other Estonian cities.
Kiiler is currently a lecturer at the Baltic Film, Media and Arts School at Tallinn University. Her works are held in the collections of the Art Museum of Estonia, the Museum of Estonian Architecture and the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago.
