Katrin Freisager
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2004
Katrin Freisager is a Swiss photographer living and working in Zürich and Basel. Katrin is best known for her photographs of young women in dream-like states. Her choice of costume and set, and the careful posing of her models’ bodies, generates a mysterious atmosphere, an entrancing uncertainty. In more recent works, Katrin presents the viewer with ambiguous landscapes constructed in her studio – images that hover between experiencing and remembering, suggestion and after-image.
Selected group exhibitions include: Herzkammer, Museum Langmatt, Baden (2020); Où sommes-nous, La Kusthalle, Mulhouse, White Frame, Bâle, OBORO Centre for Contemporary Art, Montréal (2019); Bodyfiction(s), Cercle Cité as part of European Month of Photography, Luxembourg (2019); Sanatorium Langmatt – Ein Jungbrunnen, Museum Langmatt, Baden (2019); Liquid Planet: Abstract Painting Now, Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel (2018); Where are we, OBORO Center for Contemporary Art, Montréal (2018).
