Kathrin Sonntag in ‘First Responders’ at Thomas Erben Gallery

Berlin-based artist Kathrin Sonntag is no stranger to quiet moments in the studio; past photos of seemingly banal environments allude to the paranormal or time travel.  As part of Thomas Erben Gallery’s ‘First Responders’ series – an ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic by gallery artists – Sonntag presents a series of images made in the solitude of her workspace in 2004.  The photos turn the everyday moment into magic; here, nail scissors come to life and mince across the floor.  To see more from Sonntag’s unique POV, visit the gallery’s Instagram or Facebook page.
