Lísandra Týra Jóns (b. 2000, Iceland), who also goes by the name L T J, has mainly been working at the intersection of dance and performance art, video and photography. She co-founded the dance collective DISTANT CASUALS during her graduation year at the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance in 2023.
Lísandra deals with a certain fascination of the flesh, both of the human and non-human and explores the resonance of duration and the body at its limits.
Before and after her studies, Lísandra has worked with artists such as Danh Võ, Heinz Peter Knes, Réka Szücs, Ragnar Kjartansson, Ingri Fiksdal, Anna Kolfinna Kuran, David Danson Corpus Company, and assisted by the film director Philippe Grandrieux for her graduation project to embody and stage his performance piece “Meutrière.“
