KATJA STRUNZ
b. 1970, GermanyKatja Strunz is known for her sculptural works, installations, collages, and paintings that explore the intersections of time, space, and memory. Her practice often employs folded, collapsed, and fragmented forms — visual metaphors for what she describes as a “post-traumatic compression of space and time.” These shapes, appearing as if violently shattered or bent, suggest a collapse of distinctions between past and present, here and elsewhere. In her visual language, corners, planes, and shards create an architecture of recollection, evoking both the fragility and resilience of historical memory.
Her work has been presented at major institutions including the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (Drehmoment, 2013), Camden Arts Centre, London (Sound of the Pregeometric Age, 2009), and Museum Haus Esters, Krefeld (Faltgestalt, 2006). Beyond her collaborations with CFA, Strunz has exhibited internationally at venues such as the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
