ABOUT
Karolina Brobäck (b 1978) is a Swedish visual artist based in Stockholm. In 2020 she received a MFA degree after five years at the Royal Institute of Art.
With a broad background in the film industry, mixing techniques in experimental processes has become central to her work and she often uses photography, painting and sound to create still and moving imagery in installations, with a focal point on liminality and perception.
