Revisit: Katinka Goldberg – I Live Outside the World

During August and September 2025, the camera-based artist Katinka Goldberg  worked at Edvard Munch’s Studios. For the weekend September 27-28 she held an Open Studio where she exhibited her project I Live Outside the World.

This was the first time Goldberg worked with large-format paintings in combination with photography and collage. For the exhibition she also collaborated with the singer, composer and actor Frank Havrøy on a new sound work, streaming out from small stone sculptures.

Thematically, Goldberg investigated how the memory of a person is linked to the tactile. The work at Ekely was a memorial work that dealt with her stepfather, the painter Stig Lundgren, and their relationship. As a strategy for remembering her stepfather, Goldberg painted directly onto photographs – painting herself into their common world again.
