The themes of Kristina Junttila's artistic practice have evolved around the relationship between existing structures and the personal. In what ways do our surroundings, regulations and institutions influence our lives? Who has freedom, responsibility or power?
Her works can take the form of an exercise, conceptual art piece, full length performance, intimate meeting or a relational event. She plays with established conventions, often acting as naïve and minimalistic. She can be using documentary, but also evoking imagination.
