" Schlaf gut." (Series)
DESCRIPTION
While suffering a Schizophrenia crisis, I went sleepless for many nights; so I decided to have walked during the late night through Berlin. it was winter, cold and streets were empty, I was going through mad thoughts caused by the Illness and also listening to music with my iPhone, walking the Tiergarten, the biggest Park in Berlin, I began to look at the trees, the fog, the graphic landscape of this part of the city, so I started I take pictures with my iPhone.I got so impressed and fell in love with images... I took my Nikon and decided to take the photographies with better quality...here are the images! It´s a new way in photography for me, since, til now, I only used to take photos of people. I am immensely happy with the result and also surprised that I can do landscape, even fall in love with it.
AUTHOR
Joe Kake ( born José Marçal de Jesus) was born in Itabuna, Brazil. In the late 90s, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he began his work in photography at the FotoIncena Agency, as a black & white photographic laboratory technician. In 1999 he went to Europe for the first time. In 2006 he moved to Berlin, where he learnt German and began his studies at the „ NEUE SCHULE FÜR FOTOGRAFIE BERLIN“. The human body and its identity are central themes of Joe Kake's oeuvre. He mostly uses natural light for his works and is reluctant in employing Photoshop.
Kake’s fashion editorials focus on the models. Each time they create an atmosphere that provides the model with a new identity, even if just for a moment. Kake chooses to use the format of photographic portraiture because he has always seen the fashion image as a picture. In this way, he can focus the human being at the centre of his work, through which he tries to understand the world and himself. He believes, “There is no pleasure, creation or desire to go on without beauty”.
