Fables and Other Tales , Karen Knorr's new book, offers a unique immersion into the artist's world with some forty photographs and fifteen tales written by Knorr herself. This book brings together recent works and emblematic photos from her historical series, rarely exhibited since the 1990s, allowing a new audience to discover her work.
Known since the 1980s for her critical and playful approach, Knorr has left her mark on British photography by incorporating themes such as postmodernism, postcolonialism, and feminism. Her early series, Belgravia and Gentlemen, questioned the social and patriarchal values of England under Thatcher. Subsequently, she introduced text into her images to provoke reflection and distance, addressing themes ranging from social class to animal representation in heritage sites.
In Fables and Other Tales, Knorr uses subtle collages of animals, objects, and architectural settings to question the authority of museums and heritage. His visual dialogue, between fact and fiction, invites the reader to explore worlds that blend tradition and illusion, opening the way to a poetic reflection on authenticity and the power of the image.
