Katja Mater has an interview up on Johanna Reed's blog This is That.

The artist will have her first solo exhibition titled "Principle Matter" with V&A in New York opening October 15th.

__"The work can be formal by subject and in the way I talk about the medium itself, but at the same time I talk about escaping and breaking this technical context: I aim to trick the camera into recording non-existing scenes, I try to capture phenomena, moments and things which you could consider unable to be photographed. Creating more space to look at the medium, and focusing on photography as a creating medium more than a documenting medium. Instead of looking through a photograph, being a more or less transparent thing, I want to make my viewers look at photography."
