Krista Mölder

According to Krista Mölder, her exploration of the connection between individuals and space constitutes a significant aspect of her work. Mölder's melancholic photo series frequently emphasize the notable absence of a subject, while presupposing an active viewer position. Furthermore, Mölder's exhibitions are becoming more site-specific, reflecting her deep fascination with the spatial context that extends beyond the content of the photographs themselves.
