KARMEN CORAK, nata in Slovenia, vive e lavora a Roma. Ha studiato Arti Grafiche in Croazia e Conservazione e Restauro delle opere d’arte su carta in Italia, Giappone e Austria. Ha inoltre partecipato a scambi e workshop con Rinko Kawauchi e Hans-Christian Schink. Le sue opere sono state presentate in mostre personali e collettive in tutta Europa, oltre che in Giappone, Corea del Sud, Russia e Stati Uniti. Ha ricevuto riconoscimenti internazionali per la fotografia Fine Art a Parigi, Málaga e Berlino. Le sue opere sono presenti in collezioni pubbliche e private in Italia, Francia, Germania, Slovenia, Svizzera, Stati Uniti, Brasile e Giappone.
Parallelamente alla sua pratica artistica, ha svolto una lunga carriera nella conservazione delle opere d’arte su carta presso la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Roma, le Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia e l’Istituto Centrale per la Grafica di Roma. Nel corso di questi anni ha inoltre curato progetti espositivi di arte contemporanea per istituzioni pubbliche e private. Attualmente è interamente dedicata alla sua pratica fotografica.
La sua fotografia esplora la sottile distanza tra ciò che si vede e ciò che si può percepire oltre. Attraverso un approccio contemplativo e spesso metaforico, isola frammenti della realtà e ne riconsidera il significato, lasciando che l’immagine diventi uno spazio in cui il visibile può suggerire qualcosa che va oltre se stesso. Il suo lavoro è attento alla relazione tra immagine, le qualità materiche del supporto, parte integrante dell’opera e percezione.
