Niko Luoma
Niko Luoma experiments with photographic abstraction through his approach of multiple exposures on the same negative by using light as a raw material. He pushes the parameters of how we perceive, think and use the photographic experience to create a new visual language. His work has contributed to innovations in analogue photography.
Niko Luoma has exhibited at Gallery Bryce Wolkowitz, New York; Gallery Taik Persons, Berlin; and Nikolaus Ruzicska Gallery, Salzburg, among others. He is a senior lecturer at Aalto University in Finland.

Katharina D. Martin
The work of Katharina D. Martin reflects the essential questions of human existence. Martin links the body, as one’s natural and limited material, to the idea of personal identity. With her videos, objects, and installations she creates a connection to architectural space, both enclosing and defining it. The artifacts of her videos are not treated as simple documentation. Her work creates a unique space in which the spectator finds themselves suspended between the artificial and real, between the visual and tactile. Through this interrelation Martin unveils what is hidden.
Katharina D. Martin (born in Germany) is based in Rotterdam and received a BA in Media Art and a BA in Monumental Art in 2006 from the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, Enschede, The Netherlands. In 2009 she realized a performance and video project at The Watermill Center, NY. In 2011, she participated in the video exhibition She Devil at MACRO, Rome. Currently she is engaged in a Masters at the Academy of Fine Arts Muenster, Germany.
