Katrin Koenning

Katrin Koenning is an artist working across still and moving images and text, at times including found materials, painting and collage. Situated at the intersection of the personal and the political, her practice centres themes of relation, intimacy and connection, often positing imaginaries with a greater-than-human world. She uses fragments and slippages to suggest narrative spaces, communities and lived experiences that are allied, fluid and multiplicit ~ like a river that flows.

Koenning’s work has been exhibited internationally and nationally, including at the National Portrait Gallery, Museum of Australian Photography, Centre for Contemporary Photography and the National Gallery of Victoria. Katrin collaborates with many organisations and festivals locally and across the Asia-Pacific region, teaching workshops in photographic thinking and practice. In 2024, she published her book between the skin and sea with Chose Commune (Paris, FR).

She lives and works in Naarm (Melbourne Australia), on unceded Wurundjeri Country.
