Corinna Holthusen


Corinna Holthusen is a conceptual artist specialised in photography and digital imaging. She deals with the topic of convergence of beauty, disgust, artificiality, naturalness ... perfectly worked faces, bodies and its destruction through new composition by several parts of different physiognomies.

Since 2016 also haptic breakup by material deposition on the surface of the photo prints. She uses acrylics and pigments to develop an emotional dimension on the print.

The creation of her Works has always been characterized by the interplay of digital and analogue work processes. And now, with the partial insertion of AI image elements generated by her, it reaches a new level of complexity.

As Mister Wullfen describes my work:

'If in our capacity as viewers, we could delve into the places from where digital photography has emerged, we would be much more suspicious of the images by which we are surrounded. It is this kind of critical distance from the body of photography that we can learn from the works of Corinna Holthusen. In them the past, present and even future of human portraiture are as one.'
