ZIPPING CULTURE and PERFORMANCE:
"It seems to me evident that our way of life it's more and more hectic, specially as technology develops so fast we become prisoners of our communication items. We have less and less time to live life, and to spend time reading a book or sit in the garden enjoying sunset. We become a zipping culture: we zip through life as we zip through Tv programs. Television became our second nature. We are restless, losing our inner center. Fo all these reasons long durational performances becomes an important tool for the public to enter another space and time. For this reason the afford of Katharina D Martin in this direction are very important."

"Katharina D. Martin varies her performances with new correlations of space, body, and significant signs. In each case she reaches unique statements which are more then the sum of their parts.[...] With the help of time, space, body and material Katharina D. Martin creates images of possible Identity. On account of her Performance work is since 2007 member of the independence performance group I founded in 2003"
