Karen Knorr
Karen Knorr is currently exploring our relationship to nature, animals, their representation and display in natural history fine art museums and zoos. The sites include Carnavalet Museum, the Museum of Hunt and Nature in Paris, Chambord Castle and the Conde Museum in Chantilly Castle. More recently Knorr has been using Corbusier’s Villa Savoye in Poissy reintroducing life into the modernist aesthetic of a building, which has become a shrine to high modernism. The photographs mix analogue and digital photography playfully reconfiguring tales (Ovid, Aesop La Fontaine) with popular culture (Disney and Attenborough) in museum interiors and heritage sites.
