Katja Mater
CTRL V, 2024
They (The Hours), 2023
Katja Mater’s (*1979 in Hoorn/The Netherlands, lives and works in Brussels and Amsterdam) practice focuses on the parameters of photography and film from a meta-perspective, using them as non-transparent media. By creating hybrids between different optical media, installation and performance she documents something that often is positioned beyond our human ability to see. Interested in revealing a different or alternative (experience of) reality through capturing the areas where optical media hardly behave like the human eye, Mater mediates between time, space, perception and our understanding of them, she records events that simultaneously can and cannot be – holding midway between information and interpretation.
