Andrea Coyotzi Borja (b. 1984, Mexico) is an artist and researcher based in Helsinki, Finland. Working across video, sound, installation, writing, and drawing, her practice attends to everyday encounters and the quiet presence of ordinary objects.
At the core of her work is an ongoing inquiry into the infraordinary, the subtle, often overlooked textures of daily life. This inquiry began in her artistic practice and was developed through her doctoral dissertation, In the Middle of Things: On Researching the Infraordinary (Aalto University), and it continues to expand, increasingly engaging sociological and ethnographic perspectives alongside artistic ones.
Her current projects include As I Change, My Memory Changes, which reflects on memory, belonging, recognition, and identity through collected objects and audio narration, and Sounds’ Geographies, an embodied, situated practice that engages with the awareness of rhythms and pace through an acousmatic dimension. Across these works, personal archives and acts of attention become ways to trace lived experience across places and time.
Her work has been shown in Mexico, the United States, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Bulgaria, and Finland.
