Kristina Õllek (b. 1989) is a site-specific installation and camera-based artist born in Tallinn, Estonia, currently based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her works questions the relations between space, object and image, considering the context of an original and a copy. She is interested in the possibilities of how representation can be dealt with and how does it influence our perception.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE OBJECT ITSELF IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES is Kristina Õllek’s ongoing series of site- and medium-specific exhibitions and works. It focuses on the impact of object and image transformation within its representation, documentation and circulation.

Kristina would like to thank: Cultural Endowment of Estonia, Kert Viiart, Anu Vahtra, Aap Tepper, Sten Saarits, Aarne and Hailii Õllek, Taavi Suisalu, Keiu Krikmann, Epp Õlekõrs, Piet Zwart Institute.
