Karine’s path to photography took a long sinuous road.
It began in 2012 when she decided to put aside her career as a finance manager to move back to the US to study photography.
Challenging the idea of photography as a reflection of reality, leveraging its fragmentary nature, her intent is to interrogate the different strata that lie beneath the surface of appearances.
Mixing texts and images, her work focuses on physical and intimate territories, exploring the wounded, the sidelined, the notions of identity, belonging, all the existences located on the periphery whatever the nature of what has placed them there.
Through a constellation of forms, subjects and points of view, her projects question what escapes our vision, the silences, the breaches into our individual and collective memories, the interstices between the physical and the mental spaces.
Karine is a founding member of the 643 Collective.
