ABOUT 


Katharina Swoboda, *1984, lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Katharina is interested in natural-cultural environments and their representation on screen. 


"In my work, I delve into the process of distilling complex, three-dimensional spaces of our environment into two-dimensional screen representations. This transformation is not merely a physical one, but also a means to challenge ingrained perceptual frameworks. I am exploring and researching with audiovisual techniques to subvert these pre-existing cognitive patterns. An integral component of my artistic exploration lies in amplifying the presence of often overlooked beings and unheard voices within our shared spaces, such as animals, inviting viewers to reconsider their roles and significance in our world."
