In her most recent work, Katharina Schreiter (*1984 Dresden) takes the architecture of the MdbK as the starting point for photographic self-staging. The focus is on the physical experience of the interior, the materials used in it and its considerable dimensions. Using collage, the artist combines her own black and white photographs of the terraces and stairwells with performative self-portraits charged with brightly coloured props.

Katharina Schreiter completed her studies at the HGB in Tina Bara's Photography and Moving Image class in 2022. Currently
Katharina Schreiter is currently finalising her master student work with Joachim Blank. With the work group Membrane, she combines the two-dimensional medium of photography with aspects of spatiality.

Three of the five motifs in the series will be on display as large-format banners on the façade of the MdbK from the spring. There they will fulfil the function of the eponymous membrane, a delicate, thin skin that simultaneously serves as a separating and connecting layer between interior and exterior space. Two further photographs will simultaneously enter into a dialogue with the museum's permanent exhibition.

On March 9, the MdbK invites you to a talk with the artist about her work.
