Karen Knorr: India song

Skira published the work of photographer Karen Knorr and her poetic journey through the Indian Subcontinent. Karen Knorr began her 'India Song' series in 2008, after a life-changing trip through Rajasthan. These carefully crafted images take inspiration from the Indian tradition of personifying animals in literature and art, depicting scenarios that are at once otherworldly and surreal. Knorr’s work explores Rajput and Mughal cultural heritage and its contemporary relationship to questions of feminine subjectivity and animality.\ud The book includes a preface by Wiliam Dalrymple, an acclaimed British historian, writer, broadcaster and critic, an essay by Christopher Pinney, professor of Anthropology and Visual Culture at University College London, and Rosa Maria Falvo, writer, editor and curator specialising in Asian Contemporary Art and Photography
