Kerstin Kuntze

"Face it"

The face is a mirror of emotion - desire - hope - dream - desaster - future - past - ...
Kerstin want to show the face behind the face - the unspoken - the unseen - the secret ...
Maybe you see parts of the picture as a mirror - and maby it touched you a bit, she says.

Kerstin Kuntze was born 1965 in Cologne, Germany. After studying graphic-design at the the universtity of essen (Folkwangschule), she worked in mayor advertising agencies as an art-director. Picturemaking was always an inward urge. Starting at an early age with drawings, always showing something "human".
She´s now (since 5 years) using photography as a basis to show her view of the world.

1. DENNIS IN HIS ROOM
I have my own house, where I live half of the year. Sometimes I don’t talk for a week to anybody there. In the summer I rent a room in a gay retirement home. I enjoy meeting people of my kind.

"In the project If you are lucky, you get old I capture encounters with the elderly passing by and I tell stories of those I spent time with. To my surprise, the old people I met were not just proud of their age and the fact that they made it that far in life, they were also still falling in love and breaking up. They were overcoming their lifetime partner’s death, living out their erotic fantasies or dealing with the loss of their sexual desire. Talking to them showed that inner growth is ever lasting and that humans above the age of seventy continue to love, suffer, long, dream and have sexual feelings."

2. FIR TREE
I was married for thirty years. I loved my wife very much. If she hadn’t died, we would be still together. After her death I was devastated.


3. DENNIS WITH HIS FLIGHT COSTUME

The thing I regret most is that I didn’t become an astronaut and never went into space.


4. DENNIS IN STOCKINGS
The first time I dressed as a girl, I was eight years old.

5. DENNIS’ WALL DECORATION
I don’t want to be a woman. I am happy the way I am. I just enjoy the kick.

6. DENNIS DRESSED UP

I feel that I am transforming from a caterpillar into a butterfly. Sometimes I go out like this. If people don’t like it, it is their problem.

North Country Fair

North Country Fair by Jan Buse

grandma's photo-album.

i was looking for some snaps in the old family albums. and i've step upon the grandma's album. i remember it quite well. from this one i know how my grand-grand father was looking like, i know who's my aunt's cousin, and could recognize my mum at the age of 2, and so on. but this time i was struck by the decoration left between the photographs. and of course, the snaps i was looking for - were found.

well, the thing is...would we have to show something simmilar to our grandsons, or it would be the mix of films, slideshows and thousands of jpgs?

Jane Fulton Alt: Burn

Jane Fulton Alt: The Burn series evolved from my ongoing interest in life cycles. Controlled burns imitate naturally occurring fires by removing accumulated dead vegetation and releasing seeds from dormancy. By opening the woodlands to more sunlight, the fires prepare the soil for new spring growth, and the cycle of renewal continues.
While accompanying restoration ecologists on prescribed prairie burns, I am drawn to the ephemeral quality of a single moment when life and death do not seem opposed to each other, but are parts of a single process to be accepted as a whole.

Recently I saw Bruno Pantones captivating photography and decided to show some of his work here. .."He gets more satisfaction and inspiration with art photography and the years spent in contact with the people, and often with extreme reality, led him to search the expressions and the forms of our time between faces and human beings.."
