Mona Kuhn: Works is the first retrospective by one of the most respected and widely exhibited contemporary art photographers of today. Throughout a career spanning more than twenty years, Kuhn's underlying theme involves humanity's longing for spiritual interconnectivity. She is renowned for developing close relationships with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable intimacy. Kuhn employs a range of playful visual strategies that reveal glimpses into the psyche as it is expressed through the human form, ultimately reinterpreting the nude in the canon of contemporary art. This new volume features images from throughout Kuhn's career, including previously unseen work, and will introduce her distinct aesthetic to a wide, popular audience. Accompanied by insightful texts by Rebecca Morse, Chris Littlewood, Darius Himes and Simon Baker and an interview with Elizabeth Avedon, the reader is provided with insights into Kuhn's creative process and the ways in which she works with her subjects and settings, and achieves the visual signature of her imagery. Mona Kuhn: Works is an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the human form in contemporary art. With 155 illustrations in colour
In a remote landscape near Bordeaux, Mona Kuhn owns a little house:
simple, bare and even without electricity. Kuhn travels here each
year to entertain family and friends as they drop by. Bordeaux
Series contains portraits of these people dear to Kuhn made over
the last four years, as well as landscape photographs. Kuhn
photographs her subjects in the same room with a red fabric
backdrop and a chair, so that the nudity of each sitter is the only
indication of his or her idiosyncrasies. A sequel to Kuhn's Native
(2009), Bordeaux Series is a sensual exploration of the
contemporary nude.
