Katja Mater 
| Katja Mater searches for the definition of the minimal contions required to take pictures. She doesn’t want to register, but tries to mislead the registrating medium. She plays with invisibility, both by the absence of light and by ‘overdosing’ light. Mater tries to visualize black surfaces, the minimum amount of light required to discern contours, or to take pictures, at a point where the human eye has almost given up.
What interests her is the slownesss of our eyes. Her dark pictures have the same effect as entering a dark space: slowly you start to distinguish and the dark surface start to show more detail.
Mater is fascinated by the position of photography amongst other media, teh grey zone between photography and video and the one between photography and painting. With her work she tries to move in those grey areas.
Another aspect of the “invisible” in Maters work is the suggestion, the registration of absence. She evokes a oppressive feeling, a hint of something missing, the suspicion of a missing object, of the subject being blocked from the picture.
