Katrina Stamatopoulos is a Greek-Australian artist based in London, whose work probes the skeptic nature of image making. She traces how cycles of nourishment, decay, and reproduction manifest both in the body and in the photographic medium itself.
Katrina’s work often begins with discarded or unstable materials: expired photographic papers, found 16mm film, objects, commercial waste, x-rays, packaging or food remnants. The histories embedded within these materials inform both her research and process. Through experimental hand-printing techniques, chemical manipulation, re-photographing, and installation, Katrina approaches photography as an active site of displacement, examining the medium’s abilities to translate and deceive.
A continuous thread in Katrina’s work is connecting the consumption of food and images; their digestion and representation, source and distribution, and entwining as daily process. Working cross-disciplinarily, she often works in collaboration with other researchers and professionals in fields of genetics, design, food production and agriculture.
After finishing an MFA at Goldsmiths in London, 2020, she has since then, exhibited internationally and co-founded the project space Equivalentbehaviour in North London.
