This web site is a presentation of selected works by visual artist Kristina Ask.
Reflecting my practice the site consists of both collaborations, project based work, ongoing and media based projects as well as writings. The different aspects are related and often overlapping. A continuous challenge of the works is to break down the barriers between theory and a practice developing between activism and other kinds of critical and subversive image productions.
