Karolina Erlingsson (b.1980) is a Swedish artist based in Malmö, Sweden. She has studied Art History and Fine Art in Sweden and in Portugal,

and she completed her MFA from Malmö Art Academy, Sweden in 2008. Erlingsson's work has been invested in stories and narratives, and how

they can be told. By using the subtle experience of the every day, she is seeking the stories which are not obvious, the story that often

remains in silence. In her work these stories find their own time, sometimes extending into the past, but always grounding with the present,

the present of the experience of a viewer. Erlingsson is working predominantly with text, video, sound, installation and performance.
