Tarrah Krajnak – Shadowings. A Catalogue of Attitudes for Estranged Daughters

The camera as a research tool

The rich variety of series in the exhibition at Huis Marseille shows Krajnak's conceptual approach to photography. She uses the camera less as a lens to document the world, but more as a research tool. A way to experiment and make images, where she alternates between the photo studio, fieldwork, archival interventions and the analogue darkroom as production locations. Krajnak's lens is often focused on existing photographs that she appropriates, but also on herself. In this way she plays with time and blurs the boundaries between staged self-portraits and performance, herself and the other, fact and fiction.

The exhibition in Huis Marseille brings together Krajnak's most important series. Shadowings. A Catalog of Attitudes for Estranged Daughters was created in collaboration with Galerie Thomas Zander (Cologne, Germany). The publication RePose is published to accompany the exhibition by FW Books, the design of which was provided by Hans Gbraken. The book is available in the museum shop.
