CV:
Catrine Val is an international conceptual artist working in the fields of photography, film, and performance. Driven by an interest in the concepts of time and history, she has specifically focused on the role of women within diverse cultural and political systems, particularly in the history of philosophy. Born in Cologne, Germany, Catrine Val initiated her career in advertising in Vienna, Austria. Feeling unfulfilled in this profession, she transitioned into the arts and earned a BA at the Art Academy in Kassel, Germany.
She pursued postgraduate studies at The Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and served as an assistant to Valie Export. Following graduation, she worked as an assistant lecturer in the field of virtual reality at the Art Academy in Kassel. Catrine has conducted extensive work in popular etymology, collaborating with women in India, South America, Asia, and Europe. In July 2020, Springer published her work titled “Methodological Reflections on Women’s Contribution and Influence in the History of Philosophy.”
She is the recipient of the prestigious WMA Commission in Hong Kong, 2019, entailing a three-year residency during the turmoil of the freedom movement. Her ongoing project, “Living Memory,” won the ‘Stand Together and Go Virtual’ competition in collaboration with the German Embassy London and the Goethe-Institute London in 2020. This project explores the lives of Jewish Holocaust survivors and was recently exhibited at the Wiener Library in June 2023. “MEMORY UNSETTLED,” published by Kerber in November 2022, is another notable contribution. Catrine Val is also a member of the DFA (The German Photographic Academy).
