Spanning three years (2020-2023), between the skin and sea emerges at a time of great collective upheaval. The hyper-local takes centre-stage; made among the artist’s immediate communities, tales of entanglement, relation, connection and intimacy unfold. Leaning into the shadows, the photographs trace networks of love, grief, kinship, shelter and repair.

Katrin Koenning (b.1978) is an artist living and working in Naarm/Melbourne. between the skin and sea is her first monograph.
