Admired Photographers: Vivian Maier

I would like to start a new monthly series dedicated to all the photographers whose work has had a great influence on my own photography, not only artistically but aesthetically and communicative. And I couldn’t think of anyone better to kickstart this series than the mother of women street photographers…

What’s an artist, really?

Part I — Last week I wrote a short essay in which I tried to understand why the general public hates contemporary art and hence contemporary artists who create that art and I have been thinking about what an artist actually is since then. I am not the first to ask that question…

Why Everybody Hates Contemporary Art — and Artists?

Everybody hates contemporary art. — What a statement. Unfortunately, it is not far from the truth. Of course, that “everybody” doesn’t include those within the art world, but rather the rest of the mortals who are supposed to experience and appreciate art and the work of the artist. And they are pissed. To be quite…

Linda Nochlin took upon herself…

And, meanwhile, Jamie is dancing

Sometimes I have a little bit of spare time to stop and think about what goes on in the world. Lately, this is not happening as often as I would like — which is why I haven’t been writing so much in the past months — and maybe the reason…

Insomnia

A self-portrait photo essay on depression 2021 was the year I experienced the “death” of the self. It started with a revelation: I was diagnosed with a chronic depression I have been living with for over 15 years. I didn’t know who I was, how I was going to find myself again, how long it would take to figure out my true self while suffering the consequences of emptiness. It was a long journey I still haven’t fully finished that I decided to document through a series of self-portraits in this photography project titled Insomnia.

My boyfriend is a robot

A not-so-far-away science fiction story My boyfriend is a robot. He is amazing, everything I have always wanted. He is attentive and caring but not in a nagging way, as he has effectively learned when not to cross my boundaries. He is loving through his words and actions, those happening during our daily communication through…
