Through 30402132 (2021), Katinka Lampe places the depicted model silhouetted against a constructed scenario of a dark void, that merges with the subject outlines. The facial  expression, the piercing gaze directed to the viewer and posture of the subject interrogate the relation between the painter and its model. This painting  explores notions of distance, artificiality, and the uncanny. Understanding how bodies are politicized and become an arena for identities, Lampe purposefully put herself in a problematic role to continually ask questions of herself and her position as part of her practice.
