The work of Katja Mater (b. 1979) originates from a meta perspective, dealing with the possibilities and impossibilities
of Photography. Rather than documenting frozen moments in
time, she turns the medium in on itself, aiming to show its
intangible character. She makes visible the areas in which 
the technique does not behave like human perception, to offer
a better view on photography as a creating rather than a
documenting medium.

'EENS tijdloosschrift'
Eens is a collaboration of Robert Wechsler, Sema Bekirovic
and Katja Mater. In assignment of Spaarnestad Foto (a dutch
photo archive), we selected the most poetic news items we found
in the archive. Of these we made a newspaper. We caused a lot
of confusion by distributing it throughout the city of Haarlem
as if it were the actual news. (copies can be ordered by sending
me an email)
