Katinka Bock's Art Style

Katinka Bock creates sculptures and installations using clay, natural and found materials, and more recently bronze. Her work explores concepts of temporality and space, while also delving into the realms of history and geography.

Katinka Bock's work frequently engages with natural alteration processes and documents the disappearance of sculptural elements, creating a dynamic interplay between outdoor and indoor spaces, the exhibition space, and the production site. Her exploration of material conditions spans various media, with sculpture at its core, complemented by film, photography, and publishing. Her work addresses themes of language, communal space, and sharing.
