iMusée national Eugène-DelacroixSaint-Germain-des-Prés
Photographs from Karen Knorr's India Song series, with animals set into architecture, paired with Delacroix's own animal studies.
Karen Knorr photographs palace architecture in India with a large-format camera, then adds the animals afterwards: big cats, horses and peacocks she shot separately in nature reserves, zoos, museums and the wild. One print here, Sikander's Entrance, is a doorway in the Chandra Mahal of Jaipur's City Palace, photographed in 2013.
The prints come from her India Song series, shown for the PhotoSaintGermain festival in Delacroix's last home and studio, in dialogue with the museum's own display of his horses and other animals. You look at his painted animals and her digitally placed ones on the same visit, and can compare how each artist put a creature where it never stood.
The show is included in the €9 museum ticket (free for under-18s), and holders of a PhotoSaintGermain festival pass get in free until 28 November. Closed Tuesdays.
