Welcome. My name is Katharina Kiening. I am an author and artist working at the intersection of literature, photography, and drawing. On my website, you’ll find selected works.
My artistic practice moves between analytical observation and surreal imagination, guided by an often fragmentary approach and a focus on memory and perception.
Literature, Art, and What Inspires Me
Subscribe to my newsletter to receive insights into my practice, from publications, exhibitions and readings to inspirations from art and literature.
I have a particular fondness for analog film, especially Polaroids, and although the newsletter is in English, my literary work is primarily in German, for which I was awarded the Georg-Trakl-Förderungspreis in 2024, a literary award for poetry from the State of Salzburg.
Support My Work as Friend, Companion, or Patron
The newsletter is free and arrives about once a month. If you would like to support my work and are able to do so, you can choose between three different options.
I have been sharing my practice publicly for only a couple of years, which makes it exciting to see how it develops, and your support helps shape that journey. I am curious where it leads, and I hope so are you.
