Her photographs have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including Athens Photo Festival, FORMAT, Noorderlicht and PhotoIreland. Koenning’s work has been published in The Guardian, GUP Magazine and The New York Times and her awards include the 2015 Daylight Photo Award and Australia’s Top Emerging Documentary Photographer. Her work is held in collections across Australia and Europe, and she currently lives in Melbourne, where she lectures at Photography Studies College. Book Astres Noirs is the debut book for both Katrin Koenning and Sarker Protick, artists who live thousands of miles apart, and whose peculiar photographic wanderings create a hauntingly beautiful dialogue. This book presents photographs taken on mobile phone cameras, devices used to capture their everyday in an impulsive and almost obsessional way, documenting life from their doorsteps to far afield. Their photographs capture the commonplace such as water stains on asphalt, dust clouds and rays of light, and transform these into mesmerising "elusive fragments that evoke an imaginary creature, a milky way, a phosphorescent silhouette." Their combined voices lead us on a journey into unexplored territory, somewhere between the everyday and paranormal, night and day. The book has been shortlisted for the 2016 Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation Photobook Awards (First Book) and Prix Nadar 2016. Format Hardcover with embossed title. Silver printing on black paper. 79 duotone plates. Judges’ Comment Sinister and dark photographs offering illumination and optimism, photos taken from the everyday and transformed and packaged into a new and unexpected form. This photo book is surprising and surreal, it’s sequence is elliptical and perfectly strange. |

Book
J.W. documents the life of John. It is a collaboration between the subject and photographer, focusing on how ageing affects routine, interests, priorities and how one offers oneself to be captured in an image. The book explores themes of nostalgia and ritual, while the subject, John, reflects upon his own image archive, objects he's collected and the stories attached to them. By recording the daily routine of a retiree in his home, the places he visits and the mementos he surrounds himself with, J.W. traces a life that would otherwise go unseen. In doing so it presents an intimate visual narrative of mateship between two people, previously strangers now friends and collaborators. Format Clothbound Hardcover. Digitally printed on Uncoated Knight Smooth White 140gsm paper. Judges’ Comment A beautiful tribute to a life and the interests and hobbies encompassed therein. Strong sense of relationship between the photographer and subject. Trying to capture something before it is lost forever. |
