Research interests
Kristina’s research methodologies and areas of interest include landscape, walking, moving image, speculative narratives and performance. Through walking and directly engaging with a landscape, she gathers research and react through playful, humorous and though provoking experimentations. In her practice she thrives to transgress traditional boundaries of moving image approaches and in the process invent new ways of working and producing.
Practice
Outside of Kristina’s academic practice, she runs her own video production studio, which has produced work for clients such as the NHS, Moovel Lab, Kodak Lab, Design Science and others.
