ABOUT CHROMA
Chroma is an interdisciplinary collective working at the intersection of set design, film, photography, and multimedia installations. Our work examines narratives embedded in built environments, social structures, and digital spaces.
Through collaborative processes, we create works that challenge perceptions and provoke new dialogues. We explore the fluidity of the body, its boundaries, and transformations, translating these inquiries into spatial concepts and visual media. Engaging with existing social constructs, we transform them into immersive storytelling experiences.
Our practice combines analytical research with artistic speculation—a play between documentation and fiction, present and future. By breaking with conventions, we develop new perspectives on identity, society, and the relationship between humans and their surroundings.
