Kristina Buch holds an MSc in biology and studied protestant theology before completing her MA at the Royal College of Art in London and the Düsseldorf Academy with Rosemarie Trockel. Her exhibitions include documenta (13) and the 14th Istanbul Biennial, to name but two. She is currently a German Academic Scholarship Foundation PhD fellow at the University of Cambridge and a visiting professor at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts. Her work poetically negotiates complex themes. Language, symbols, images and materials dissociate before being brought together in unexpected forms, helping us renegotiate what we think we understand, creating entirely new ways of reading and knowing.
