about this work

Katja Mater exhibited at KIOSK in late 2014-early 2015, under the title Fields on a Line. The work was conceived in a step-by-step capturing of the painting of the exhibition room walls and floors in four different colours, and the subsequent re-painting in white. The result was a 16 mm film installation, with the repainted white exhibition space serving as residue. This eponymous edition reveals the process behind Fields on a Line in a new, photographic way: the four photo prints portray the four exhibition rooms in their temporary coloured state.

about Katja Mater

Katja Mater examines the boundaries of photographic and cinematographic media in explorations of the possibilities and impossibilities inherent to their materials. The reflective process that characterizes her work starts with an observation of the exhibition context and a contemplation of the potential dialogue between the medium and the environment. She works toward an ‘outcome’ that carry a transformative potential.

Her work primarily consists of analogue photographic or cinematographic registrations of intermediate interventions. She creates abstract geometric compositions on paper, on objects, or directly onto a spatial context. The compositions are captured by means of a deliberate set of rules that provide a sense of direction in Mater’s boundless exploration of the tension between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional.
