11/1 Photo Lecture: Corinne May Botz

From [Lauren Lee]

Corinne Botz's photography has a beautiful "dream-like" quality to it. She talked about three very big projects that she has completed. She talked about the model house collection, the agoraphobia collection, and the haunted houses collection. Though all three were done with different intentions, all three seemed to go very well together, and it was hard to differentiate a photo from the agoraphobia collection from the model house collection, for example. One might say that she has a way of photographing interiors that gives them a doll house quality. When asked about it, she said that it wasn't intentional, but it may have happened because of how much time she spent working with the model house. Corinne also talked about preferring to work with the interior of a building or house to the exterior. She has discovered a way to showcase the person that lives inside without actually using traditional portraiture.
