KARMEN CORAK, born in Slovenia, she studied Graphic Arts in Croatia and Conservation and restoration of works of art on paper in Italy, Japan and Austria. She followed some photography seminars with Rinko Kawauchi and Hans-Christian Schink. She lives and works between Rome and Venice. Her photography records the constant flow of things and gives them another order of existence.
The particular choice of the paper support does not only exalt its aesthetic qualities, but also its ability to evoke an exile from reality, dislocating it in other spheres of perception.
She was invited to group exhibitions in Cina, Corea, Croatia, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Russia, Slovenia, Spain and Hungary; and with personal exhibitions at the various editions of the International Photography Festival in Rome. He receives international awards in Fine Art Photography in Paris, Malaga and Berlin.
