Situated in the
documentary tradition, Katrin Koenning’s intimate photographs and
sequences are made of the quotidian. Spaces clash, collide and come to
be. Her fused geographies suggest a present that is puzzle-esque and
multiplicit; always in conversation. With this, Koenning offers a way of
seeing that is non-hierarchical, refusing to comply with a
human-centric order of things. Instead the greater living world, the
human and the animal occupy an equal space—connected rather than apart.
In careful image-dialogues, she explores extended narrative
possibilities and the currencies of the document. Through multilingual
approaches to image-making Katrin seeks to reflect the complex times in
which we live; imbuing her poetics experience both injury and
tenderness.
