Katinka Pilscheur works with a variety of materials to create her
installations, which are often large three-dimensional objects. These tend to
be a group of combined readymades - usually where found objects are linked to
one another. In this way, Katinka Pilscheur builds spatial collages from the
seemingly banal, tearing everyday things out of their context and creating new
sculptural objects. Her sculptural works also integrate the exhibition space.
Depending on position and lighting, the glossy painted monochrome surfaces of
her works reflect objects and beholders in constantly changing forms, making
them as hard to classify as the installations themselves. For this reason, the
work's intimate relation to the exhibition space is just as important as the
act of choosing the objects. The artefact coalesces with its presentation to
form an overall art work, and the act of creating the work is immanent with a
status equal to the finished work of art itself.
