Liminal - Ingrid Dorner

Ingrid Dorner (b. 1980, France) is a visual artist based in Munich, Germany, known for her evocative, surrealist-inspired photographic artworks. Working primarily in the darkroom, she transforms processed negatives into abstract compositions that explore themes of ephemerality, existentialism, and the interplay between humanity and nature.
For Ingrid, the darkroom operates as a space of alchemy, where experimental processes lead to images shaped as much by chance as by intention. Her practice involves chemically manipulating silver gelatin prints—eroding, staining, layering—to produce fluid and fractured surfaces that resemble decaying silhouettes, fragile figures, or spectral apparitions. Her visual language is poetic yet violent, capturing states of transformation where destruction becomes a path to creation.
