Inspired by the complexities of identity and relationships, Kat Giordano’s practice explores the interplay between representation and perception, investigating how cultural and historical narratives influence our understanding of the body. She aims to uncover the layers of meaning beneath the surface, questioning how we perceive and represent the self in personal and social contexts. Through her work, Kat seeks to address subtle tensions that arise in our interactions and perceptions.

At the heart of her practice, she explores the uncanny tensions embedded within everyday life, where the familiar can take on an unsettling strangeness. She interrogates entrenched patriarchal structures and passive violence, investigating the invisible pressures created by ingrained social norms and unspoken expectations. Beneath these polished surfaces lie subtle dissonances, often revealed in fleeting gestures and overlooked moments.

Through deliberate cropping and a focus on fragmented bodies, Kat is drawn to the liminal spaces where tension resides, unravelling the unease hidden beneath routine interactions. Vibrant colours and disjointed compositions create a contrast between vibrancy and discomfort, suggesting narratives that remain just beyond reach. Rather than offering clarity, her work encourages viewers to question not only what is visible in the mundane, but also what we choose to see and understand.
