I’m Krys Kona, a Polish-born photographer, filmmaker and image-maker based in the UK. Working at the intersection of art and fashion, I explore identity and transformation.

Rooted in analogue photography and experimental film, my practice has expanded into digital imagery and selective use of AI. Clothing, performance and everyday locations become materials for constructing visual narratives, where traces of the past inhabit the present and familiar scenes take on an uncertain reality.

Through Fashion No Fashion, I develop a meta-fashion narrative: stories about fashion itself, the identities it promises and the roles we perform through it. My photographs and films approach transformation as an unfinished process, allowing bodies, garments and places to shift between what they are, what they remember and what they might become.

Fever - deconstructed beauty

Exploring the body and beauty as unstable, fragmented and continually reconstructed.

Icarus

Icarus reframes the myth of flight and collapse through fashion, performance and makeshift materials. Wrapped in reflective foil, the body becomes both armour and fragile skin—caught between aspiration, exposure and the inevitable fall.

Fashion No Fashion SG/2

A retro-futuristic project where fashion meets science fiction. Two figures trapped in a digital world attempt to cross the boundary between reality and VR.

XPERIENCE

XPERIENCE

A fusion of nature and 3D scanning technology, shaped by Afrofuturist aesthetics.

FASHION RITUALS

FASHION RITUALS

A model in a black outfit poses among billowing sheets of transparent plastic against a pale background.

Wear Me Out

Wear Me Out turns plastic into a second skin. A Fashion No Fashion study of dressing up and breaking free.

CALL ME PINK

A distorted vision of flowing fabric, flowers and reflections, caught in a hyper-pink, high-tech dream.

Movement in Red — Fashion / No Fashion Series

A dreamlike study of movement in red. Dance, shifting configurations and moments of union unfold through fabric and the body.

Elegance slips out of line. A flower becomes a mask; velvet, a stage; a tailored jacket, a quiet act of defiance.

  • Close-up portrait of a woman with voluminous dark curls and pink lips under cool blue light, from Transformative by Krys Kona.

  • Woman in a white bodysuit leaning over a mirrored surface, her reflection framed by wooden panels and cool blue tones.

Digital Expressions

Exploring identity and transformation within the digital landscape, blurring the boundaries between the physical and the virtual.

Wash Me Wrong

Four-panel fashion portrait of a model in pale blue sportswear surrounded by bath foam, showing close-ups of her face, hand and trainer.

Sportswear slips into the bath. Foam clings to fabric, makeup holds on, and the look begins to dissolve. Part of Fashion No Fashion, Wash Me Wrong treats washing as a fashion performance: a moment of undoing, with no promise of coming out clean.

The Fabbs walk

A glimpse into the unfinished world of Rick Fabbs, where clothes take on a life of their own.

Configurate — a moving image experiment exploring transformation through a playful dance of construction and deconstruction. Forms assemble, unravel and are reshaped through movement. Nothing stays fixed. Every shape becomes a proposition for the next.
