Krista Mölder

Krista Mölder (b. 1972) is a photo- and installation artist, whose works focus on universalized space and viewer experience or, to be more specific, on the transference of a personal (and constructed) viewer experience through which the viewer has a chance to identify with the artist’s view and frame of mind.

The artist uses references and riddle motifs to study relationships between people and the environment. Having visited Japan on several occasions, she has drawn influence from its architecture and culture. In the lager whole, recognizable forms of human origin as well as natural ones are reduced to two-dimensional colour expanses. Her intrinsically spacious shots always offer tiny details for the observant eye, but they are always captured in a way that keeps the pictures from being too “busy”.

Krista Mölder graduated from the Department of Geography of Tartu University, Department of Photography of Tartu Art College in 2001, received an MA degree in photography at the University of Westminster in London in 2004, and another MA at the Department of Photography of the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2006. She has been a lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts since 2003.

Krista is actively taking part of exhibitions since the 2000s. She is represtented by the Temnikova & Kasela gallery. Her work are in Kumu Art Museum collection as well as in Deutsche Bank Collection (in London), in addition to many private collections.
