ABOUT
Krisztina Bóka (1997, Hungary) is a visual artist, currently living in Wien. She graduated with an MA in Sculpture from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2023 and gained several international experience through Erasmus+ and CEEPUS scholarships.
Her art is object- and idea-based, combining sculptural practices with experimental analog photography, particularly photograms as a camera-less technique. She emphasizes the creative process, exploring materiality, space, and light to challenge conventional notions of image-making. The concept of home has also become a recurring theme in her work, shaped by her personal experiences of frequent relocations for studies. Her projects reflect on the emotional and physical dimensions of belonging.
