Kramer photographs her carefully constructed dioramas to create images that walk the edge of the uncanny and the real. Influenced by both architecture and theater, Kramer unpacks the relationship between nature and artifice. Notable collections include Centre International pour la Photography, China.
“In meditation, the awareness of space can bring me into the here and now. By creating pictures about the notions of space, sometimes I arrive at that same state of presence.”
Kramer uses natural and constructed materials to build her artificial spaces.
Kramer carefully crafts the light and shadows that hit her dioramas to create specific tonal atmospheres.
