Über “Back Stages”:
Das Buch präsentiert die zwölfteilige Serie “Back Stages”, die internationale Orte der Kunstproduktion zeigt. Mit einem anthropologischen Ansatz und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bildhauer Jens Pfeifer untersucht die international anerkannte Künstlerin exemplarisch Produktionsprozesse von Kulturgütern in verschiedenen Gegenden auf der Welt.
The material was taken from the bird’s eye view from 2015 to 2019 It shows the viewer a clear overview of the chaos that takes place behind the scenes of ballet rehearsals, workshops in schools, and a glassworks in China. A single work by Katrin Korfmann is based on the composition of several hundred photographs. By holding the dynamic processes in a seemingly static recording, it is pointed out that in every place of (Art) Production, new forms of rhythm, pattern and movement are always occurring.
Aufgrund ihres fotografischen Hintergrunds arbeitet Katrin Korfmann mit verschiedenen Medien – Fotoarbeiten, Videos und Installationen. Sie beschäftigt sich mit Konzepten des Framings, der Perspektive und den sozialen Dimensionen der Wahrnehmung und verschiebt die Grenzen von Fotografie und Repräsentation.
