Kristina Kapilin is a Danish-Faroese sound artist and designer based in London. With a background in sound design for live performance and theatre, her practice explores the connection between personal stories, memories and our experience of environments, ecologies, places and histories.

Kristina's current research takes a particular interest in hydro-feminism and aims to highlight the interconnectednes of bodies of water through the use of field recordings, spatial sound, XR and documentary practice.

FLUX

FLUX is an ambisonic installation created by Kristina Kapilin and Ojasvani Dahiya.

Taking a hydro-feminist approach, FLUX highlights the interconnectedness of bodies of water through the use of hydrophone recordings, documentary storytelling and spatial sound.

Led by the interviewees’ discussions of their lived experiences, FLUX addresses the nostalgic view of rivers in childhood memories in juxtaposition to ecological crisis, colonial history, national identity and religious rituals, providing insight into the significance of rivers in communities worldwide.

FLUS has been presented at IRCAM Forum 2023 in Paris and at Sound Kitchen at Prague Quadrennial 2023.
