After a life-changing journey to Rajasthan in 2008, artist Karen Knorr wanted to celebrate the visual richness found in the fables, myths and stories of northern India using sacred and secular sites to highlight the caste system, femininity and its relationship with the animal world. Interiors of palaces, mausoleums, and holy sites were photographed with a large format camera and a variety of animals were photographed separately in sanctuaries and zoos. Knorr combined the two elements, fusing high resolution with analogue photography. The result is an impressive and spellbinding series I hope to see in person someday.
Definitely see in person!

Love the peacock in the turquoise room!!
Spellbinding indeed — I never would have known that the animals were shot seperately than the castle settings. This series of photographs is absolutely magical and I can only imagine how much more amazing they will be in person. Stunning!

These are amazing. India has always been fairly far down on my list of dream destinations, but I think it just moved up a few notches…

Those are packed with such strong visual elements. So incredible they must be quite the treat to see in person.
These pictures just made my day:) So beautiful and peaceful, I could look at those interiors and textures all day!
Reminds me to dig out my old photos of India… but as for the actual work being done here, you can really tell the animals were shot separately, and it’s a bit jarring.
those are fantastic! I love all of the global art you guys post on this blog, because those are incredible! Makes me wanna go to india
That is stunning. The spindly-legged birds are my favorite.
This reminds me of Doug Aitken’s Migration:

Just an FYI….
The animals in all the pics are fake and have been inserted over the original pics.
srry ….. didnt read the description…on the top of the page
These are phenomenal. So inspirational whenever you so nature combined so peacefully with design and architecture. There is something so whimsical about it!
Please stop in and see my art! I am an artist/designer and do a lot of portrait work… this is so inspiring!
