クリスティン・ポッター

Kristine Potter

Kristine Potter, the grand prize winner of the International Collotype Photography Competition 2023, organized by Benrido, will present a solo exhibition of her work. The exhibition will feature eight collotype prints from her award-winning work "Dark Waters," as well as a video work tied to this body of work. In Dark Waters, Kristine Potter considers how the rural American landscape and the country’s popular music betray some of the most sublimated aspects of American identity: fear, shame, and violence. Spurred by murder ballads, a genre of folk song that often celebrates gendered violence, Potter weaves together landscapes, imagined portraits, and scenes she encounters in her travels. This intersection of images pulls at mythologies and folklore, revealing a land and a culture marked by brutality.
