Krista Mölder (EE, b. 1972) is an artist based in Tallinn, where she has lectured at the Academy of Arts since 2003. She is herself an MA graduate of Photography from the Estonian Academy of Arts, and holds a further MA in Photography Studies from London’s University of Westminster. Mölder’s interest in the relationship between people and space is an important part of her work: her melancholic series often rely on the active position of viewers, whilst her site-specific exhibitions take her interest in spatial context beyond the content of the photographs themselves.
A Temporary Thing sees Mölder call stasis into question, offering room for what is hidden underneath. A photograph disrupts the temporary, capturing a passing moment as a static image: a grimace which has not yet managed to form a smile, a solidified wave undulating towards the horizon, or the moment that a runner’s feet float above the ground. In this series, the static starts to flicker, and the tension between motion and immobility – the visible and the invisible – is highlighted.
Artist is presented by Temnikova & Kasela Gallery
