An exhibition of intense and evocative photography by contemporary Australian photographer, Katrin Koenning

Published by: Monash Gallery of Art | 2-Apr-2019

Swell, by Katrin Koenning, highlights our current state of urgency in the environmental field. In this new body of work, seen for the first time at MGA, Koenning avoids expected tropes of disaster-imagery, offering counter-narratives in order to focus on what is at stake and to decipher how humans and nature impact on each other. The artist has had a long involvement with photography through photojournalism and long-form documentary projects, investigating and deciphering the ways that humans and nature impact each other. @mga_photography @k_koenning @areadingroom @eastwingphoto @climarteaus
