Catrine Val is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Kassel, Germany. Working across photography, film, installation and performance, she explores the relationships between images, bodies, memory and public visibility. Her practice encompasses staged, often humorous photographic worlds, philosophical inquiry and collaborative encounters with people across different cultural and political contexts.

A sustained engagement with women’s contributions to philosophy has shaped projects such as Female Wisdom, PHILOSOPHIA ROOM and STORY ROOM, where conversation, listening and shared presence become artistic forms. Her work also addresses migration, diaspora and the connections between individual lives and collective histories.

Her film HINTERLAND was nominated for the Hessian Film and Cinema Award in 2026. She is currently working on the experimental film WIEGENLIEDER. Die Zukunft im Ohr, supported by Hessen Film & Medien, with production planned for 2027.

Val’s work has been presented in Kassel, Rome, Tel Aviv, London, Nuremberg and Fortaleza. Her awards and fellowships include the WMA Commission, Hong Kong (2019–2020), the main Ottilie Roederstein Fellowship from the State of Hesse (2025) and the Golden Hercules at the Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival (2025).
