Katrina Stamatopoulos
Katrina is a Greek – Australian artist based in London. Her interests are located amongst meanings of agency and subject, what we consider real, scientific and surreal, and how we consistently misperceive through photography. She is interested in connections between the ways we digest food and images, and how they are intertwined as daily process. Katrina interprets this link as a method of grasping inside and out, with oneself and others, and with the one we consume and are consumed with being human.
Focusing on a variety of image-making perspectives, Katrina works amongst pinhole/film photography, chemigrams, darkroom experiemnts, found footage, scanography, bookmaking sound and video.
Graduating in 2012 at the College of Fine Arts, University of NSW, she has since then, been a previous resident of the BigCi (Bilpin Ground for Creative Initiatives) Wollemi National Park, Australia, and Haihatus Art Center, Finland and is on a current mentorship with Four Corners, as a part of London Creative Network’s mentorship program.
Katrina has participated in various group exhibitions such as Altered States St John’s Crypt, London, Surge, The Courtauld East Wing Biennial at Somerset House, Manpower ’16, Lisbon, Real/ Unreal held at Bath Photography Festival, and Noisefloor, an Experimental Music and Moving Image Festival in Staffordshire.
Katrina is a 2020 MFA graduate from Goldsmiths College, London.
