KRISTINA KVALVIK
Kvalvik´s work deals with matters relating to surveillance, the inexplicable, and the threatening. In her video installations Kvalvik examine the limitations of
sight and our ability to interpret what we see. She creates characters that take their form from the perspective of looking, rather than the position of being looked at. The goal is to enrich the
position of the subject by creating subjects in film that are whole and integral, even when they explore and expose the private space of their innermost fantasies.
