Kristine Krauze-Slucka (LV, b. 1979) is a visual artist based in Riga, Latvia, whose conceptual practice explores tactile image-making and the materiality of industrially-produced objects, transforming them into sites of embodied inquiry. She routinely works across different media, encompassing image-making, video and installation art. Krauze-Slucka holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the Visual Communication Department of the Latvian Academy of Arts.
Krauze-Slucka brings two bodies of work to this year’s edition of Foto Tallinn. First, the Mapping Tensions: Cartography of Distorted Boundaries project explores the fluidity and fragility of borders through photographic assemblage – made from expired silver gelatin paper. Second, the Solastalgia series consists of unique black-and-white silver emulsion prints, evoking abstract, geographical spaces where gradual processes of disappearance and distancing are in effect.
Artist is presented by Punctum Gallery
