description
Sieverding became famous for the unparalleled consistency with which she has applied her greatly enlarged portraits in film and photographs since the 1960s by manipulating them in a variety of ways. Since the 1970s she has developed large-format montages on the state of the world which were presented to the public for the fi rst time at documenta 6 in 1977. In doing so she challenges the accelerated picture processes of the present day in a critical manner and in the light of responsibility, also towards herself. Her oeuvre is spotlighted from all angles in illustrations of her works, details and installation photos as well as texts on the use of media, the self-portrait and analogue and digital photography.
press commentaries
Katharina Sieverding führt mit ihrer eigenen Kunst eine permanente Selbstbefragung zur Weltlage durch, aber sie schafft es mit ganz großartigen ästhetischen Bildern auch den Leser dafür zu gewinnen.
