This exhibition presents 30 new works from Karen Knorr’s India Song series, begun in 2008 on a trip to Rajasthan. The photographs pay homage to the beauty and power of Indian architectural spaces, especially Rajput and Mughal styles. Within the interiors of palaces, temples and tombs, we encounter a celebratory vision of colour and design. Remnants of a culturally rich era of high artistic production, these familiar sites take on a new, surreal role. They become the unexpected settings for a variety of animals – picked from sanctuaries, jungles and folkloric narratives of India. The animals act to transform the atmosphere of the interiors and in doing so blur the boundaries between reality and illusion - creating photographs of ambiguity, but also of majesty.
