Karen Knorr

Karen Knorr is a German-American photographer known for her conceptually rich, elaborately staged images that explore themes of privilege, gender, colonialism, and cultural identity. Her work often incorporates animals into opulent architectural settings such as Indian palaces and temples, creating surreal juxtapositions that challenge hierarchies of power and belonging. She is particularly celebrated for her series 'Fables,' which draws on Indian mythology and architecture to interrogate postcolonial narratives through a distinctly feminine lens.
