KARINA GOLISOVA
Karina Golisova (b. 1997, Slovakia) works primarily with documentary photography. A significant aspect of her practice is the concept of the chosen family, which she understands as a meaningful alternative to the traditional family model. Through her work, she explores how friendships and communities can function as sources of resilience in the current era of polycrisis. Photographic zines play a key role in her practice—she approaches them not only as artistic objects, but also as an accessible medium that can reach audiences beyond traditional gallery spaces. Within this format, she focuses on the dramaturgy of images and the reinterpretation of existing material, creating new layers of meaning and reflecting on different life stages.
She is active in the Slovak and Czech underground music scene, where she has long documented events and contributed to shaping its visual identity. She is the author of several self-published photographic zines, including Utopia, Published, and Underground.
She received her bachelor’s degree from the Department of Photography and New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. During her studies, she also spent a semester in Finland at the Department of Documentary Photography in Lahti. She later completed her master’s degree at FAMU in Prague and is currently pursuing a PhD at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.
