Ellen Kooi - Coruña - bloemen, Camara Obscura Collection
Artist's Biography: The photography of Ellen Kooi (Leeuwarden, Holland, 1962) unravels a protean pulse between man and nature, between each person and his environment, a complex and conflictive relationship that today we rethink more than ever and that is yet to be reinvented. The planning of his images requires a laboriousness and a talent that makes the staging an exercise in virtuosity. He complements natural light with artificial lighting that reinterprets Renaissance aerial perspective with always surprising results. The influence of the choreography of Wim Vandekeybus, Jan Fabre, and Pina Bausch is capital in the work with his models, creating bodily calligraphies and mental states of great emotional intensity. The architectural treatment of composition and perspective also plays a relevant role even when he photographs exteriors that are usually desolate and empty. Ellen's re-invention of the traditional genre of "landscape with figures" goes beyond the re-interpretation or re-reading of the great Flemish masters of the past such as Vermeer, Brueghel, Patinir, or Bosch, but raises from nothing, from everyday life, unstable images full of hidden issues that make us feel an inner heartbeat, a sensation.
