Katja Mater’s work adopts a meta-perspective to confront the possibilities and limitations of photography. Rather than documenting moments in time, the artist records the numerous ways in which we can look at and think about photographic images. By turning the medium onto itself, she essentially complicates its supposed accuracy. Instead of looking through photography as though it were a transparent medium, Mater aims to direct the viewer’s attention to photography itself. By focusing on areas in which technology produces images that diverge from human perception, she reveals the intangible essence of photography, which she thus uses as a creative rather than documenting medium.
