Please join us on Monday, November 10th, from 12:00 tO 1:00 in the studio 6th floor. Claudia Kunin discuss two body's of work, Ghost Stories and Holy Ghosts.
Ghost Stories reflect Claudia's interest in 19th photographs, specifically daguerreotypes as she uses one dag image reflected into another... she carefully chooses the images to couple and then photographs the result. She then turns it 3D and the final image comes alive and tells a possible story about these people that no longer exists giving them a new voice, a new presence. In Holy Ghosts, Claudia is inspired by ancient myths and religious icons. Every aspect of each finished image is a 'montage' of photographically collected elements both natural (land, water, sky, fire, human figures, snakes, etc.) and fabricated. Claudia herself photographs every element that goes into the making of these images... they are the ultimate example of "The Directorial Mode". The 3D aspect forces a presence of divinity in an existential world.
