Creators:
Knorr, Karen
Description/Abstract:

Karen Knorr's photographs, apparently faithful to traditional norms of composition, gesture, lighting and staging are in fact resolutely ambivalent: tesing their subjects whilst seeming to enter into complicity with their values. The four sequences - Belgravia, Gentlemen, Country Life, Connoisseurs - form fragmented narratives that present and comment on a uniquely English society which knows, better than any other, how to create its own eccentric spaces, impose its codes, polish the veneer of a perfect art of life.
