Children’s vernissage: Catherine Opie

In her work, artist Catherine Opie explores what defines a person and what influences shape their character. She examines how it is possible to depart from supposed social norms by pursuing alternative lifestyles. Since the early 1990s, the artist has been working on a complex body of work that includes photographs in particular, but also films, art books, and installations. Born in 1961 in Sandusky and now living in Los Angeles, Opie draws on the traditions of 20th-century socially oriented documentary photography updating it with foresight and sensitivity.
