Internationally recognised as a pioneer of unconventional visual strategies and an innovative media-led creative practice, Katharina Sieverding has revitalised the artistic potential of photography. She introduced the super-sized format as a key element of her exhibitions at a time when this was far from common practice. An assertion-turned-object, the large format manifests itself in space in the form of projections after experimentation with different sizes. | | | | | | | | | Katharina Sieverding

Her archive is a repository of recollections and knowledge. Mirroring the artist’s themes and subjective perception of current events, it conveys an image of the time.
Since the 1960s, using film and photography, Sieverding has employed her portrait with unparalleled consistency, often blowing it up it to monumental size and manipulating it in myriad ways. In the 1970s, with astonishing prescience, she began to develop her large-format multilayer montages on the state of the world, which were first presented to an international audience at documenta 6 in 1977. But the artist also addresses fundamental questions about art and the conditions of its production and reception. She investigates the relationship between individual and global structures as well as microscopic and macroscopic ones. Her creative practice not only reproduces the accelerated visual processes of the present, it also scrutinises them with a view to responsibility, not least her own. | | | | | | | | | Katharina Sieverding
