From the series About Nature: Death Valley Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

Corine Hörmann (1968) is a Dutch photographer who studied scenography and photography at the Academy of Arts Minerva in Groningen, The Netherlands and graduated in 1998. "¨ She mainly works with a pinhole camera. Something which will be often seen as a prehistoric way of working. But by using this black box with only this tiny little hole in it, she tries to give her photographs another gateway to reality. That small hole has a complete different way of looking at the world then that our eyes do or the lens of our camera does. She tries to make pictures where the feeling of loneliness and emptiness dominates. A world in which expiring time is only visible. Her latest series is named Test of Time. The images in this series are made with an exposure time from 8 until 24 hours. The path that the sun describes in the sky and its reflection on the water becomes visible. The line is sometimes interrupted which means that it was cloudy at that moment. During the process I discovered that I am attracted by the cyclic movement of time and water as an important aspect of our human existence and as the most mysterious thing there is. Her photos are exhibited nationally and internationally. They were shown amongst others at Paris Photo, DFOTO Feria in San Sebastian, Spain, Art Rotterdam. Her work has been acquired for several collections including Artmuseum Linz in Austria and the Dutch Photomuseum Rotterdam in the Netherlands. In 2012 she was a finalist at at the International Photography Awards, one shot, the landscape. Last year she was nominated for the Francois Schneider Award in Wattwiller, France.
