Katrina Niebergal (she/they) is a Rotterdam-based artist whose practice operates at the intersections of research, filmmaking, and scenographic installation. Increasingly, these modes are converging into long-term world-making projects. Her work focuses on the contested figure of the womanly “irrational,” and on prehistoric and speculative-future epochs as potential times outside patriarchal and capitalist hegemony. These inquiries directly inform her methodology, which combines fluid research processes with material gathering, acts of reinterpretation, and the construction of counter-narratives.
Within this framework, Katrina examines how human technological developments reverberate through culture and society, shaping patterns of knowledge, power, and ways of being. She situates these developments in relation to both mythic structures and lived experience, asking how technologies of the past and future are inscribed within present bodies and politics. Grounded in the ethics of intersectional feminism, her work reflects on her own entanglement within these histories and systems. Across projects, she explores how acknowledging such entanglement might enable the cultivation of radical (self-)trust, the recuperation of agency, and the creation of spaces for alternative modes of being.
