Antonia Gruber
T.T.C. (Series)
DESCRIPTION
In this series I devoted myself to the staged portrait. This are digital photos which were manipulated similarly. The photos were manipulated during shoot. Throughout the series, which I started the end of 2014, I developed various techniques of analog manipulation.
The deformation is the red thread of the series. How were the images are deformed? This is the mystery of the artist and a important part of the work. This manipulation creates a deformation, which irritates the viewer and simultaneously makes you think. Whether it is because the viewer does not understand right away how it technically comes to this image or because he gets directly into the level of interpretation, the viewer lingers his time before image. The pictures are not simply portraits of women, but rather a look into the depths of humnans.
Maybe, this is the view of the photographer to the world? However, it is said that an interpretation says more about the viewer himself than about the artist and his work. The struggle with self-doubt and the pressure of the fashion industry are inspirations for this work. Likewise, I sat apart with the physical and psychological fragility of man.
