    Experimental Relationship (2007- Now)

    „As a woman, I used to think I can only fall in love with someone that I adore, who is maturer than me, older than me, a protector, a mentor. (mehr …)

    „These images are a selection of work from 2009 – 2011. My photography and photomontage pieces come from personal exploration and childhood superstitions documented from behind closed doors. I shoot within the familiar walls of home and surroundings working often in the tightest corners or crouched low to the floorboards.

    I want to communicate with my own ghosts, to produce and document a voice that others might recognize. (mehr …)

    “I think my photography is a game, or a role play, somewhere placed between arts and reality – with an artwork that ideally lures the viewer into a realm of untold stories. And what the viewer might discover by entering this realm, is a little bit about people and their relationships to each other, a little bit about arts and perception, a little bit about the world and how we see the world – but foremost I hope that the viewer learns a lot about himself.” (mehr …)

    Pietro Motisi | Manca Anima

    Non avrei voluto essere d’altro che specchio
    e di sponda restituire in superficie
    tutto il fondo incolorire della luce
    a chi su di me come da solo
    rideva un proprio volto sconosciuto.
    E invece ne trattengo dietro una macchia un colore
    e a rispondere poi qualcosa di nuovo:
    sono ancora incapace.

    I wished I was made of nothing else than mirror glass
    giving back off the cushion on the surface
    all the deep encoloring of light
    to the one smiling toward me as if alone
    an unknown face of his own.
    Instead I hold back a spot a colour
    and to answer something new:
    I am still unable.

  • Serena McCarroll | Three Women

    Serena McCarroll | Three Women

    The project „Three Women“ centers on the creative lives of Susanna Bauer, Bernadette Greuel and Sister Maureen Maier.
    I came to know these three women while living in the tiny farming community of Bruno, Saskatchewan (population 600). All three of them grew up in rural Saskatchewan and each succeeded in forging a unique path within a place and at a time where options were limited. For all three the surrounding landscape is intrinsic to her existence. (mehr …)

    Jonny Cochrane | I Want That

    Our default condition is one of wanting. Often, we foolishly pander to our desire to have by attempting to get a little closer to the people, places and objects that we believe are symbolic of fulfillment, satisfaction, success and happiness. (mehr …)

    UNDER THE LEAVES
    2010 – ongoing

    „Under the leaves, something is happening, something is growing that will not abate until they return there for good“

    Under the Leaves is a work striving to change our perception of vegetation. It is imbued with reverence for the silence and constancy of trees and flora. It intends to give a presence to vegetation, to emphasize that it is living of another kind of life than ours, that we cannot fathom, unconscious, obscure. (mehr …)

    Polixeni Papapetrou | Between Worlds

    We are delighted to present the fabulous work „Between Worlds“ by Polixeni Papapetrou here on Actual Colors May Vary:

    In Between Worlds, Australian artist Polixeni Papapetrou has created photographs of her children and their friends dressed as animals dancing upon their own liminal world. In landscapes on the border of sea and land, forest and plain, land and air, the children perform identities other than their own, liberating them from the stereotypes that contemporary culture imposes on them.

    Kate Levy | Paper and Glass

    Paper and Glass (2008-2011)  is a collection of images made up of re-photographed photographs, from ephemeral newspaper pages to treasured family snaps.

    By intervening at the surface of each original image in-frame, meanings become redirected into fragmentary, ambiguous and puzzle like interplays of perception and context. (mehr …)

    Boubacar Traoré is a musician from Mali, born in 1942, also known by his nickname „Kar Kar“ meaning „The one who dribbles too much“ – according to his style of playing football. Self-taught (with a little help from his brother, who was studying music in Cuba during the 50’s) Boubacar developed a unique style that blends American Blues music, Arab music, and pentatonic structures found in West Africa’s Mande cultural region (Kassonké).
