Through her video and photography, American artist Karen Knorr explores the dynamics of power and its influence on cultural heritage. Born in Frankfurt and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Knorr is known for her seminal series, India Song, in which she digitally imposes images of live animals into lavish interiors of Rajasthan, a northern Indian state known for its opulent architectural spaces. Lush and playful, these images appear to be depictions of Indian folklore, but Knorr delves below the surface to consider issues of colonialism, exoticism, appropriation, societal hierarchies, and femininity as it relates to the animal world—concepts that are as multifaceted as the country itself.
Knorr's work is in the collections of Tate London, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the United Kingdom Government Art Collection, England; Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Centre Georges Pompidou, France; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Folkwang Museum, Essen, Germany; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California; and the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan, among others.
