Above is a part of a photo series photographed by Annegret Soltau. She calls the thread wrapped around her face like a ‘cocoon-like envelopment’. A metaphor of her changing not necessarily becoming beautiful like caterpillars to butterflies. However, the force off taking off the thread by cutting it using scissors seems like she wanted to free herself from the tangled thread rather than changing into something ‘beautiful’.
These photos were taken by Lili Dujourie. Of what seems like a woman lying down on the floor posing quite sensually, it is infact a man with long hair. I was surprised as i genuinely thought he was a woman as the poses are quite feminine and the shape of his body also looks feminine. I only knew this was the case when reading the description in the booklet. I was drawn to the photos because of the great lighting against his body. How the light and shadow defines and outlines the shape of his body.
