Since beauty famously lies in the eyes of the beholder, different people envision different things when it comes to what beauty means.
Likewise, in eroticism our imagination goes down different pathways.
The works depict the results of reimagined oil paintings by John Kacere. The motif for this was the act of taking the photograph as an empowering experience and a fusion of vintage erotica with a product being its own enticing entity.
Panel Talk:
Guest speakers affiliated to the world and industry of erotica give their own unique insights on the importance of it and how it’s implemented in their life’s and/or careers. Moderated by Henry Bruce-Jones.
Hannah Baum was born and grew up in the countryside of South Germany. Photography is a tool to compose a hybrid of her passions: the feminine, the dreamlike, the gothic, and fashion. A tool allowing to combine traditional analog practices with contemporary subjects – a mix of the old and the new. Influenced by working in fashion photography in London, as well as techniques that leave a portion of the outcome to chance, are part of the overall experimental approach. Featured in issues of her self-published zine Stray Dog, in group exhibitions in London, and most recently an extensive solo exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, as well as a collaboration with a Naarm-based fashion brand.
