Full Bio (280 words):
Corinne Botz (American, b. 1977) is a photographic artist, filmmaker, and educator. A sustained focus on space, objects, gender, and the body, particularly in relation to women’s experiences, is central to her practice. Her photographs make things visible, often revealing marginalized experiences or spaces that we might not otherwise have access to. In a feature story for The New York Times, Penelope Green wrote, “[Botz’s] photographic work reads like a DSM of contemporary American life and the dark side of domesticity.” Her published books combining photography and writing include The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death (Phaidon/Monacelli Press, 2004), Haunted Houses (Phaidon/Monacelli Press, 2010), and Milk Factory (Saint Lucy Books, 2025).
Botz’s photographs have been exhibited nationally and internationally at the Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, Wellcome Collection, Kunstmuseum Basel, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Württembergischer Kunstverein, De Appel, Turner Contemporary, Smack Mellon, and Wellcome Collection.
