Katharina’s new audiovisual composition “Der Spiegel sinkt. | Speilet synker.” which she develops during an artist residency at Lademoen Kunsternverksteder in Trondheim/ Norway, is inspired by the poetry bundle Delta by the Norwegian author Marte Huke (German translation by Betty Wahl and Uwe Englert). Huke’s poems are based on natural geographical descriptions on the one hand, while on the other hand they bring the forces of nature within and between people to life. Following the example of literature, the new composition aims to reflect this special mixture.
Time is continuously organized and shaped through both social and natural processes, as Andreas Reckwitz suggests.
The audiovisual composition echoes the dynamics of repetition, emergence, and disappearance that he describes–dynamics that also define Marte Huke’s Delta. Through recurring motifs, a process unfolds in which each new beginning already carries the seed of its own disappearance.
Katharina’s artist residency at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder is kindly supported by a Residenzstipendium by the Federal Ministry of Culture Vienna.
