Short Biography
Kat Kapo grew up in a small city in Germany. Unable to cope with the density of the city, she spent time planning and realizing first psychological experiments with family members, including the non-human siblings (apologies go to Mr. McMuckle and Wilma). Thanks to her grandmother, she initially exhibited wooden installations in the local forest (project "winter cabin" and "summer cabin") which received huge attention from local foxes and wild boars in 1990. After being occupied with literature for many years, she decided to study psychology in 2001. Being inspired by the possibilities of psychology, she continued doing research and finished her PhD on narcissism in 2012. During that time she became more critical of her own profession and, as a reaction, she gained an interest in learning through visual means. Thus, she started an ongoing photography class at imago fotokunst in Berlin (teacher Oliver S. Scholten) in October 2012. Kat Kapo works with photography and drawings, with a strong focus on questions of personal and social identity. The overall aim of her journey is to exchange with others. So feel free to contact her via E-Mail.
