Born in 1968 in Turku (Finland), she lives and works in New York.
Katharina Bosse's colour photographs evoke a world on the edge of sensory perception. She adopts the formula of documentary portraiture to take a sharp and penetrating look at the world around her.
In the series Realms of Signs, Realms of Senses (1998-1999), exhibited in Toulouse, she has brought together photographs of bizarre interiors, apparently real but at odds with reality. For these are places of erotic fantasy, settings for our most extravagant dreams.
