About
Carolin Saage works and exhibits globally, always at the boundary: between the known and the unknown, the familiar and the unusual, between the old and new, the past and the future. Each photograph shot by Carolin is a door of opportunity for you to shift, rethink, reframe, and reorganize your own boundaries. Working unconventionally, Carolin’s style and Berlin influence is both evident and exciting, a myriad of colours and textures; an art in itself.
