PhotoEspana Interview
Karen Knorr became well known for photographic series delving into the relationship of Western man with his society, culture and heritage.
Currently, her work is a reflection on the relationship between the individual and his natural environment, always through a studied set design and a spectacular mise en scène. In her series, she has developed the theme of the museum as a space representing the past, using atmospheres loaded with memories.
Her works were gathered together in the book Genii Loci (Black Dog, 2002) and since 1977 can be found in the collections of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
