Kristina Bengtsson född 1979, bor och verkar I Köpenhamn. Konstnär och utbildad fotograf vid Glasgow School of Art i Skottland. Hon arbetar med ofta påhittade och overkliga händelser som hon framställer dokumentärt. En reportagebetonad situation där hon väjer för den dokumentära bildens viktigaste uppgift. Istället för att synliggöra och berätta om en ouppmärksammad verklighet, experimenterar och utforskar hon en egen realistisk fiktion. Hon skapar ett personligt narrativ som berör det vardagliga och sublima.
