Karolina Wojtas

Karolina Wojtas born in1996 in Poland is a photographer who gets inspiration from random objects, children’s fantasies and her childhood memories, creating a colourful world of experiment and endless fun, transforms this material into walk-in installations.

Inspiration may become for her a mess in the garden of her grandfather or a huge slide. Through her exhibition, it is impossible to slip, sometimes covered with brocade or balloons. But you can feel like a child – play, abandon and scrounge.

She graduated from Lodz Film School in Poland and Institute of Creative Photography in the Czech Republic.

In the summer of 2019, she has opened her own museum in her native village in Podkarpacie.
