Originating from an interest in light capturing media, Karolien Chromiak creates a wide range of multimedial work. The breeding ground of some works is highly connected to specific socio-economic backgrounds and scientific and philosophical subjects, whilst other works start out of an interest in disappearing representation and alienating aesthetics, through collecting objects and assembling narratives.
 Characteristically is that the difference between both starting points isn’t visible in the end result. Chromiak gets inspired by how a space looks in a certain light, but she also react to inequality in cities, concepts of theoretical physics, industrial leftovers and capitalistic decay. In her audiovisual installations she mixes these temporal visual inputs & overarching concepts and structures.
