Katja Strunz fittingly refers to her working method as “collaging”. One characteristic of this creative artistic principle, addressing different levels of perception, is transferring an object into new material and semantic contexts, apparently destroying it and then placing it in a new reality that acquires its quality from the artistic gesture, with the aspect of temporality acquiring particular significance: “Collaging as a principle of interruption, bringing together things that are not simultaneous, lost, fleeting brings used material up to date by placing it in new contexts. An obsolete ideal origin clearly continues to be simulated. A kind of second present is created for the past.” (K.S.)
