Frischzelle_12: Katinka Bock

Before Katinka Bock (b. 1976 in Frankfurt) starts with an artwork, she sets out in search of traces. The history and constitution of the locations for which her sculptures, films and installations are created play an essential role in her work. The artist especially tries to create new ways of seeing our immediate environment by making temporal structures and spatial and dimensional relationships visible. She reveals their hidden structures with the help of natural materials, including clay, paper, wood, metal, and rock. Based on the interrelationships between location, object and beholder as well as interior and exterior, change and stability, naturalness and artificiality, the artist creates complex, visual conceptions.
