about current work of our members at strkng.com
Was ist es das die Seele dir flüstert , wenn du deinen sensiblen Raum betrittst?
Was passiert, wenn du in Kontakt kommst mit dir selbst? Es kann sanft sein, es kann mitfühlend sein, es kann schmerzhaft sein, es kann Angst sein, es kann Scham sein, es kann Verzweiflung sein, es kann Demut sein, es kann Lust sein, es kann Sehnsucht sein, es kann…
ALLES sein.
The "Dresden forum for contemporary photography" staged an exhibition of nude photography at the Art Venue blaueFABRIK throughout the month of April. Works of 4 STRKNG photographers were accompanied by an satellite exhibition of PORTRAITS Hellerau Photograph Award. More Photographers were invited to an Open-Art-Space over the Easter weekend to create original artworks, that is inspired by the exhibition. I invited a pole dancer as my model for that occasion. During the weekend we created three series called Reality Check I-III, that were on display at the closing day of the exhibition:
I – interprets the pictures on the galery walls
II – uses traditional medium format photography on expired film as a contrast to high definition digital production
III – the pole dance live session makes use of the stage- and strobe lights of this original music venue.
The series "Hidden Faces" was inspired by my own (hobby-)model time. At that time (2012) it was very important to me to protect my identity when taking nudes. The world is becoming more convervative, images are spreading very quickly on the Internet. Nudity or Fine Art Nude Photography is not always considered art, but shameless or worse. Professional or private disadvantages can arise for people. That is why it is important to me to protect the identity of my models, especially because they are normal people and not professional nude models. As a photographer I approached nude photography in a playful way and used various "objects" to hide faces. Anonymous nude has a special appeal for me, because it is challenging to stage the naked person without revealing his oder her face.
