Artist statement
Katri's work investigates and celebrates the fertile space between contemporary art, portraiture and documentary filmmaking.
Subject matters vary widely but the common thread throughout is always the desire to explore new modes of reflection in a world in which reality is never a static given, but a complex set of relations.
Through video installation, Katri explores subjective realities as a means of understanding our contemporary global predicaments, creating intimate works that document the physical and emotional geographies of her subjects.
