A recent work from the "Homo Ludens" series by Katrin Korfmann is titled "Phoenix" created in 2023. This artwork takes us to Amsterdam's Bijlmer district, where children engaged in play are depicted during a celebration at their sports club.
The pieces within the "Homo Ludens" series focus on the significance of imagination and play in our culture, investigating the role of play as a cultural connection. Katrin Korfmann remarks, "Play, much like art, is a connection between people."
Korfmann approaches the locations where she creates her photographic artworks as biotopes, exploring how humans interact within these environments. She endeavors to capture the essence of a place by designing a tangible image of time. The images are impactful (in part due to their unconventional perspectives), often situated in public spaces, engaging the viewer with the events depicted within.
