In her research "Metamorphoses", the sudden appearance of animals within elegant and often opulent architectural interiors she confronts nature and culture but, on closer inspection, also reality and dream, classicism and provocation, analogue photography and digital technology.

§ KAREN KNORR (AMERICAN/BRITISH 1954-) THE LOVESICK PRINCE, AAM KHAS, JUNHA MAHAL, DUNGARPUR PALACE (SMALL), FROM INDIA SONG - 2013/2018
Est: £5,000 - £8,000
§ KAREN KNORR (AMERICAN/BRITISH 1954-) THE LOVESICK PRINCE, AAM KHAS, JUNHA MAHAL, DUNGARPUR PALACE (SMALL), FROM INDIA SONG - 2013/2018 Colour pigment print, A.P. 1, signed to artist's studio label verso (60cm x 76cm (24in x 30in)) Note: Please note this work is sold with accompanying Ceritificate of Authenticity, issued by the artist. Karen Knorr’s past work from the 1980’s onwards took as its theme the ideas of power that underlie cultural heritage, playfully challenging the underlying assumptions of fine art collections in academies and museums in Europe through photography and video. Since 2008 her work has taken a new turn and focused its gaze on the upper caste culture of the Rajput in India and its relationship to the "other" through the use of photography, video and performance. The photographic series considers men's space (mardana) and women's space (zanana) in Mughal and Rajput palace architecture, havelis and mausoleums through large format digital photography. Karen Knorr celebrates the rich visual culture, the foundation myths and stories of northern India, focusing on Rajasthan and using sacred and secular sites to consider caste, femininity and its relationship to the animal world. Interiors are painstakingly photographed with a large format Sinar P3 analogue camera and scanned to very high resolution. Live animals are inserted into the architectural sites, fusing high resolution digital with analogue photography. Animals photographed in sanctuaries, zoos and cities inhabit palaces, mausoleums , temples and holy sites, interrogating Indian cultural heritage and rigid hierarchies. Cranes, zebus, langurs, tigers and elephants mutate from princely pets to avatars of past feminine historic characters, blurring boundaries between reality and illusion and reinventing the Panchatantra for the 21st century. The subjects of Karen Knorr’s work are as geographically diverse as the artist’s own biography: Knorr was born in Germany and raised in Puerto Rico, before she ventured to Paris and settled in London. While she works in video and installation, she is perhaps best known for her photographs and digital collages. Principal themes in her work include the stratification of class, the distribution of privilege and wealth, value systems, the symbolic role of animal representations, and issues of power at the foundation of cultural heritage. Knorr prefers to look at the privileged rather than the disenfranchised; her subjects have included wealthy English classes and their patriarchal systems and frequented clubs. More recently, Knorr has produced a series of digitally modified interiors set in India, based on fables and injustices.
