"It seems to me evident that our way of life it's more and more hectic, specially as technology develops so fast we become prisoners of our communication items. We have less and less time to live life, and to spend time reading a book or sit in the garden enjoying sunset. We become a zipping culture: we zip through life as we zip through Tv programs. Television became our second nature. We are restless, losing our inner center. Fo all these reasons long durational performances becomes an important tool for the public to enter another space and time. For this reason the afford of Katharina D Martin in this direction are very important."

"If first there was a word what did it represent the world around us, perceived objects, sensed emotions? How did it come that the name contains such a burden of contents and consequences? If it is really as a philosopher Wittgenstein said that our world ends on what can be named, what happens with unnamed? Does it disappear in the shadow of our consciousness? Katharina D. Martin seems to silently but visually unveil what is hidden under the net of the commonly agreed definitions words."

"Katharina D. Martin’s works are touching in their loneliness. Separation seems to be the main theme there
a lonely female figure,
abstracted from wider context, although always closely connected to the architectural space, both enclosed and defining it. It is the loneliness that outlines the vulnerability of the artist in her performance more than nakedness or self-violence, often used by women performance artists."
