Reminds me of Tim Walker
Fairy Tale
Tragedy, romance and gothic
soft film, nostalgic and dark.
storytelling like Poe
mysterious too
Not sure how she creates these images - I hope the animals are real because it would spoil the magic charm of them if they were photoshopped
I want to believe that she actually has this powerful connection with the animals to be able to pose and photograph them
EDIT: I have discovered that the animals she uses are mostly dead and stuffed.
All sorts of animals and subjects, but I was most interested in these birds.
'Sanatorium for birds'
Prefer the more ambiguous imagery, where only snippets of the human form can be seen. Some of her photos appear very staged and dramatic: involving blood, tears etc.

Polish artist, interested in poetry and literature which I think is translated through her art
Similar themes to Poe: death, madness

Uses herself in her photos because the stories are personal to her. other people don't 'belong in her imagination'
Schizophrenia - isolation and fears

Uses old film cameras to shoot - digital has no magic
