--------------------------------

”The fleeting presence of many of Kristina Bræin´s installations are their most intriguing aspect. Her works contain many suggestions of being left unfinished on purpose, as if they had been forgotten, or simply abandoned, in the middle of the work process.  Thus it becomes the task of the viewer to recompose their part”
