photography | kenzamekiri-en

I explore through photography: fashion, dreamlike imagery, and the intersection of both.

From this convergence, new narratives emerge:

➤ such as punk ballets questioning the innocence of classical ballet,

➤ ‎my feminist reinterpretation of Swan Lake : ‎ ★‎ ‎It is Odile who comes to avenge Odette‎,

➤ and shadow chimeras escorted by their gothic dreamscapes, unveiling the sensitive world within the material world.

I strive to develop a "photographic writing" directly with the camera, in order to minimize retouching.

To achieve this, I play with ISO, flashlights, backlighting, shadow, and blur. One of my secrets is to work with a veil.

I then explore the result in negative and through symmetry.

Approach

Once the night falls, I embark on a quest for surface, a quest for texture, to meet my shadows,

my chimeras, which are waiting to be revealed and captured. From a material world, I access a sensitive world, which I describe as dreamlike-gothic.

By moving from a tangible world to a perceptible world, I explore the transition from the material to the ethereal body.

Exemple de Texte

I appropriate the urban space and experience a creative process within it,
transforming an ordinary space into a field of artistic experimentation.
I literally work with light to reveal the shadow: equipped with flashlights to create, among other things, backlighting in the darkness.
Sculpting, structuring the image, hand in hand with the shadow, our most loyal accomplice.
An image as a mediator between worlds.
This image can remind us that an occult world, waiting to be revealed, exists alongside the material world.
