Katrin Korfmann
Katrin Korfmann is a photographic artist, researcher, and educator who graduated in photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Amsterdam, was a residency artist at the Rijksakademie Amsterdam, and is currently lecturing at the KABK The Hague.

These explorations are concerned with the investigation of social constructions in public space and the decoding and interpretation of these constructions through the use of the photographic medium.
