Lives in Berlin
Since 1999, Eckert has been making Indian ink sketches of strange figures from plugs and outlets connected and intertwined with each other through cables. By drawing them over and over again, she has developed a personal style. Her work is represented in Berlin with digital drawings that appear at first to be photographs. They create a reality, which does not exist: fictional sceneries in uncanny atmospheres that could come from faded childhood recollections or out of a Hitchcock classic.
At the end of 2007, Katja Eckert’s work has been displayed in the exhibit “Zeichnung heute V“ (Drawing today V) in the Kunstmuseum Bonn and last year with Motoko Dobashi a.o. in the Künstlerhaus Bethanien and winner of the grant “Karl Schmidt-Rottluff Stipenium 2008/09”. Her works are in famous collections like the Deutsche Bank and the Deutsche Börse, Frankfurt
