How is the world seen by an island – a place made of multitudes, living and nonliving? The space and time through multispecies viewpoint is infinitely complex and narrowing it down to linear film is impossible. Island of Multitude gets entangled in the island’s complex world following and building connections between different agents of the island. The contact points are observed from multiple perspectives with each new viewpoint forming an even more complex web. In the end this film is just one story out of the millions that unfold on the island on a daily basis.The work is the conclusion of a year-long research on the island of Uuluti, located in the Baltic Sea. It started as an exploration of island space and the human and non-human stories that are formed on islands.

Karl places himself between artist and designer. As a designer he sees value in aesthetics as a tool to access the viewers’ attention and as an artist he is interested in the relationships that humans and nonhumans have; the artificial dichotomy and tension that is dividing the world into natural and unnatural. He grew up in Estonia in a peatland forest called Kõverdama, which is the defining aspect of his creative work. He feels a strong connection to that land and everything that is inhabiting it, living or nonliving. Through that connection he sees the world as an intertwined relationship expanding through every aspect of life.Karl studied Media Design in Pallas University of Applied Sciences in Estonia, and has a degree in Art & Science, MA from University of Applied Arts Vienna.
