Kaat Van Doren is a multidisciplinary visual artist.
Born and educated in a Western European context, she investigates through her artistic practice the concept of 'nature' and reflects on the western paradoxical relationship with nature. Through romantic traditions of thought such as the picturesque landscape, the impact of industrialization and the current capitolocene paradigm, she searches for resonance in a symbiotic world view - the romantic paradox as a dynamic for change. She is steadily developing a sustainable artistic practice in which the ‘passing of time’ claims its place and also becomes a medium.
Her current artistic research circles around three concepts: Miroir Noir, Waiting (F)or and Golden Hour, in which time recurs again and again as a paradoxical core, hereby reflecting on the relationship between human - time and space, and representing the (in)visible processes of change in which the world is intertwined. She investigates how she can make these processes more perceptive and visible by concentrating on the properties of raw materials such as the viscosity of bitumen, the power of the wind, the light waves of the sun and the rotation of the earth. Not to analyze them all, but to emphasize the inseparable connection and mutual influence between human and the environment. The processes and their form of presentation are becoming more and more the subject. Giving a voice to this essential dynamic of the ever-changing immeasurable and uncontrollable (in)predictability of Nature and its human dependency. A juxtaposition with the global dominant mathematical conception of reality and the conviction to comprehend by measuring and calculating.
