Katja Mater
Katja MATER (1979, Netherlands) is a visual artist who studied at the Rietveld Academy and subsequently attended the two-year programme of De Ateliers in Amsterdam. By creating hybrids between different media, installation and performance, she documents something that is often positioned beyond our ability to see, revealing an alternative reality. Her work is shown internationally in museums such as FOAM – Photography Museum in Amsterdam, La Casa Escendida in Madrid and Temporary Gallery in Cologne. In 2013, her book Multiple Densities was published. In 2024, she joins IFFR with the co-direction project yours, (2023).
