Katharina Roters

1969, Cologne, Germany
Lives and works in Berlin and Budapest
Collaboration with TOBE Project since 2026

  • Katharina Roters is a transdisciplinary artist whose work explores the intricate relationships between social structures, architecture, space and historical contexts. While her photography serves as a medium for artistic research into these complexities, her painting and drawing turn inward, exploring the body’s presence as a vessel of personal experience within these realms. She shares her practice through exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and publications.

    Roters has exhibited at institutions internationally, notably in Hungary, such as the Ludwig Museum, Mai Manó House, and MODEM. The artist participated in the Venice Architecture Biennale twice, in 2023 and in the Armenian Pavilion in 2018. Roters’ book Hungarian Cubes: Subversive Ornaments in Socialism won the DAM Architectural Book Award in 2014, while Utopia & Collapse: Rethinking Metsamor – The Armenian Atomic City was shortlisted in 2018. In 2023, Roters was awarded the second prize in the European Architectural Photography Prize.
