The publication State of Change provides an overview of the artistic work of Karen Irmer (*1974). In her equally poetic and analytical photographs and film installations, Irmer reflects on the relationship between illusion and reality, as well as between artwork and viewer. Atmospheric moods and a reduced visual language are characteristic of her practice.
