Description/Abstract: | The poetic, mysterious, and photographic practice of Knorr is explored as playful, original in ideas and concepts, and in methods of production. Knorr's fascination with taxidermy, objects and spaces, looking at her conceptual practice and the disruption of the institutional gaze. Examining pluralism and the deconstruction of institutions, language, desire and fantasy; issues that dominated the post structural theoretical landscape of the 1980’s and 90’s but Knorr’s work takes these themes further. Space in a formalist way, and the natural world. Subverting the museum via the French philosopher Michelle Foucault’s writing on power and his singularity to see through the fictions of the structures of society, and subverting those restrictions. Knorr's fascination with animals, ritual, display and death. |
