Kristina Mos (b. 1998, Ukraine) is a visual artist and photographer. Currently lives and works between Ukraine and Poland. She studied at the MYPH School specialising in contemporary and conceptual photography. She works with the topics of reflect on mental health, anxiety, the concept of corporeality, and her own spontaneous space, meaning of vulnerability and sensitivity, emotional and sensitive experience. She works in various media genres such as photography, installation, object and alternative printing methods.
During the residency I’m going to work on the project “My grandpa’s garden”. I would like to create a series of works with alternative printing based on archival photos. Personal memory exists, but when we refer to the past, we always include fictional elements. Reality contains elements of fiction, just as fiction contains elements of reality.
Kristina Mos’s residency is realised in the context of the Ukraine Solidarity Residencies programme.
The programme has been realised in partnership with AARK, Art Centre Salmela, Connecting Points programme, Fairres, Goethe-Institut Finnland, HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme, Kristinestad Art Residency, Loviisa Art Support Association, Nelimarkka Museum, Pro Artibus, Tahmelan Huvila, The Finnish Artists’ Studio Foundation, The Finnish Illustration Association Kuvittajat, and Värtsilä Artist Residency.
The programme has been supported by the Kone Foundation and Nordic Culture Point. The continuation of the programme in 2025 is possible due to the support of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Nordic Culture Point.
