2009 © Katrin Korfmann
Katrin Korfmann focuses on the apparently ordinary. Her emphatically neutral vision suggests a high degree of objectivity, while at the same time taking us into a fictional world. In a process embracing a variety of materials and media, she documents daily situations with the photographic or video camera and combines the individual shots subsequently into a complete work. A carefully planned choreography makes it possible for the artist to control the perception of her pictures. She places the evanescence of an event at the centre of observation, brings different moments in time to a single point and so gives the impression of a kind of magical moment. The viewer becomes the victim of illusion the more secure you imagine yourself to be, the more persistently effective the artists manipulation. The fascination of Korfmanns pictures lies in her creation of an illusory simultaneity, which unfolds into a world of details.
