Verum-in-Woman

Verum-in-Woman

This series was created during the COVID 19 epidemic. Huge posters were still in my studio from last year’s “Verum-in-Grano“ exhibition. When I was testing the photographic film, I proposed that my friend be the model for the photo test and positioned her against the one of the posters with the image of the grain. It was enough to see this composition with my own eyes to develop a sense of the idea of the future project. A nude woman in front of the grain is something very cosmic and simultanously very earthy, as the essence of birth, regeneration and their cycles become visually tangible. Then everything came about quickly – I posted an announcement on Facebook inviting women to participate. No one was refused.

The notion of an invisible energy hidden in grains fused with the feminine and took on a visual form. This is my first series where there was an image initially which then provoked the idea. My previous projects started with a concept and only then did the visual solution emerge.
