Katarina Löfström’s works could be referred to as visual puzzles in which the borders between art and Pop, autonomous form and design, film image and painting become blurred with each altering perspective. The artist not only bans representation as far as possible, she also eliminates the static quality of painting from her animated sequences; it only reappears in the stills she has taken from them. At the Künstlerhaus, Löfström varies and animates a photo from outer space until distant galaxies turn into pixel patterns, and she transforms Berlin into a raster of bright dots by using the revolving dome of the television tower to create a nighttime panorama.
From 18th Sept. to 6th Nov., an exhibition by Katarina Löfström may also be seen at gallery Jan Winkelmann / Berlin, Brunnenstraße 185.
