About Sarah Schorr

Sarah Schorr is an American photographic artist, researcher, and educator. A captivation with
light, water, and modes of embodied contemplation runs through her work.

Schorr’s work has been widely exhibited since her first solo show at Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York. She was selected for a Terra Foundation Fellowship (2021) and a Munn Artist Fellowship (2022) with artist-in-residency at Monet House from the Versailles Foundation in France. In 2020, Schorr’s work was honored by the Julia Margaret Cameron Award for women
photographers in the category of nude (first prize) as part of an exhibition at the Fotonostrum
Gallery in Barcelona, Spain. Schorr enjoys collaborating with other artists, writers, and
researchers. Her artist catalogue, “Borrowed Glitter,” is accompanied by an essay from author
and national book award finalist Phyllis Rose. Since earning her PhD, Schorr’s own research has
been published in collected books and journals. Her book “The Color of Water,” with words by
Elizabeth Avedon and Anne Marie Kragh Pahuus accompanied a (2021) solo show of her work at
Galleri Image in Aarhus, Denmark and a (2022) solo show at the Northern Photographic Centre in
Oulu, Finland.

Schorr received her BA in English Literature from Wesleyan University, her MFA in Photography,
Video, and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts and her PhD in media studies at Aarhus
University with a dissertation entitled, “Social Photography: Photographic Practices in the Context
of Social Media”. Sarah currently lives in Denmark where she lives, works (and swims).
