CORINNE GEERTSEN

Corinne Geertsen

I assemble my works digitally from photos of my ancestors and from my expanding archive of over 70,000 photos.

It’s all about remix.

I’m on a constant photographic scavenger hunt, outfitting ancestors with backdrops, sidekicks and belongings.

I print my work myself in small editions on archival photo paper with pigment inks.

My images are quirky visual narratives about psychological predicaments. I especially like a good plight.

My art leans toward surrealism, as it has odd juxtapositions, non-sequiturs, and an element of surprise.

My work content mirrors personal, political and global situations – in a sly way.

My work is a packrat’s nest of things that are deeply a part of being alive: curiosity, humor, fear, rescue, individuality, absurdity.
