Sophie
Mörner, Photographer/Founder/Publisher CAPRICIOUS
BOOK PUBLISHING & MAGAZINE Brooklyn, New York Sophie
Mörner was born in 1976 in Stockholm, Sweden and attended New York University’s
Tisch School of the Arts. Most often regarded for the founding of Capricious Magazine
and later Capricious Publishing and Space, venues for presenting emerging fine
art photography, Mörner is first a photographer herself. Her work blends
idyllic elements of an imagined female utopia: individuals in bucolic, pastoral
settings unencumbered by gender pressures, with aspects of contemporary portraiture
and realism. In 2007 Mörner had her first solo exhibition, Androgynous portraits
1999-2003, at Riche Konsthall in Stockholm, Sweden and in 2008 she self-published
a two-person artist book with photographer Anne Hall, titled The Known World.
With artist Tammy Rae Carland, Mörner co-curated the exhibition Looking Forward,
Feeling Backward, at New York gallery P.P.O.W. in 2009. She has curated several
shows in New York, The Netherlands and Sweden. Her photographs have been featured
in numerous publications including ID-Magazine, The Advocate, Girls Like Us, BLEND,
ANP Quarterly, Livrasion, Famous and LTTR. In recent years Mörner has been
invited as a guest lecturer, reviewer and panelist for such programs as the New
York Photo Festival, the School of Visual Arts’ Mentor program, the Art
Directors Club/ Colophon, Centrum for Fotografi (Stockholm) and ICP-Bard New York.
