The sensuous landscape of the human body recurs throughout Stina Brockman's (born in 1951) photographic world. In her new pictures she actively investigates the possibilities of sexuality and the dissolution of the boundaries between male and female - or the relationship between the male and female within one person.
The sensuous landscape of the human body recurs throughout Stina Brockman's (born in 1951) photographic world. In her new pictures she actively investigates the possibilities of sexuality and the dissolution of the boundaries between male and female - or the relationship between the male and female within one person. Most of Stina Brockman's art is about capturing the feeling of the fugitive moment, the quick glance. She isn't out after beauty or constructed prettiness but seeks the source of how people look. Forms and atmosphere are often reinforced in her photographs through the struggle between clarity or sharpness and blurredness, which is complicated by her use of the large-format camera.
