Work from her oeuvre
“I was drawn to Katinka Pilscheur at the very beginning; I knew we had something in common. From the moment I saw power tools and materials piled in wait, I knew: this was my childhood. The soft metal memories of mine, bent into an arc of energy; the suffering of hard labour but the joy and understanding of a true days work. The destruction and rebirth of Berlin’s scenes of construction. The wait for something spectacular and the result of something mundane. As we up look at the ivory tower of glass and metal only to feel dismay, lower your eyes; change lies at the very core and center of being. Change is more than the worldbuilding up around us.Pilscheur captures still shots of seemingly benign pieces of the whole and cages them. She is tempting the viewer to irritate these faux animals to see what they are really made of.” – Koal
