Aap Tepper (b. 1991) is a visual artist based in Tallinn, Estonia. He is known for works that explore the tangents between memory, space and photographic representation. Using personal images and pictures found on social media or in archives, his works derive their form primarily through site-specific installations. Since 2016, Tepper has served as Senior Specialist at the Film Archive of the National Archives, where he conducts experiments on the position of artist-in-archive, resulting in critical gestures that address the representation of archived images. Tepper is a graduate of the Estonian Academy of Arts MA programme in photography (2016) and is one of the founders and leaders of the Rundum platform launched in 2013.
