Katja Stuke works as a photographer on her own independend photographic projects. And together with Oliver Sieber – under the label BöhmKobayashi – they cover an extensive range of personas: photographers and artists, curators and exhibition organizers (ANT!FOTO), designers, art book editors and publishers. Regardless, in their works and activities as artists and art facilitators they have long since become moderators of a very specific photographic culture. During the last years she exhibited i.a. at Kunsthalle Bremen, Museum für Photographie Braunschweig, Museum for Contemporary Photography, Chicago, Museum Folkwang Essen, Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Temple Paris and Florence Loewy, Paris.
