Two lemons, a tambourine and a roll of film

Venturing into the studio with Karin Reum is like following the white rabbit down the rabbit hole. You truly have no clue where you will end up. 


It all began with an empty studio space. This space provides an isolated area in which both photographer and subject can experiment with ideas of identity, expression and how we construct meaning through images. It is a space that according to David Campany is a mixture of a stage and a confessional where you are free to express and act our your desires and fantasies. It can be the stage for a simple idea or elaborate plans.


In the case of Karin it provided a perfectly lit stage on which she could bring her many 'selfs' out to play. A drama student at Rhodes University Karin is no stranger to the stage and feels comfortable immediately in front of the camera. In fact it was like I was not even there. 


Describing herself as:
'Yoga, orange trees, crispy green lettuce, the booty hop,muesli, worry, kindness, number 11, timtams humanity, habitat, squirrles,friends, marshmallows, laughing, talking to myself, slippers,fruit, wearing slippers to the shops, blue cheese, pictionary, music, whiskey and soda, visionary, loyal, curvy, loving,OCD, honest, sunrise, mail,, eat/pray/love, roadtripping, europe, family and speckled eggs!'


you can maybe then understand the diverse range of photographs that we managed to get in the short studio session that we had.
