SOHIE
About
Caroline Sohie creates across media. As a London based architect and photographer, her cross-genre work examines the human condition emulated by its spatial context.
Born in Johannesburg, Caroline grew up in Brussels and after graduating in architecture, she studied photojournalism at the London College of Printing.
Her passion for photography goes back to an early age when she was introduced by her father to analogue photography and the wondrous techniques of the dark room, combined with a growing interest in exploring the unknown, triggered by extensive travelling during her childhood.
With an inherent understanding of space and the visual, her images capture the symbiotic, though often uneasy relationship, between human beings and their habitat.
She is captivated by the various ways people interact, appropriate and leave a mark on the built and natural environment. The work unearths deeper questions surrounding civilisation, power, memory and the symbolic gesture of the human trace facing life’s impermanence.
The images navigate and make conceptual linkages across continents; her most recent work captures worlds where the traditional and the new collide, revealing the tangible signs of rapid cultural and environmental change.
The work features in various publications; including Wallpaper, The Times,
The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Architectural Review and Architectural Design.
