Through TheirEyes: Wandering Between Restlessness and Alienation, Evelyn Bencicova is full of poetic depression cameras
"Poetic Sensen, also dead Sensen." This is the impression of Evelyn Bencicova's photography when I first saw it, pale, cold, like the tones of a Nordic film, telling the deepest emotions of the human heart.
Evelyn Bencicova, a photographer from Slovakia and now living in Germany, has a mature composition and full narrative, making it difficult to imagine that she has just turned 27 this year, her photography enlightenment comes from the age of 18, she has not seen well since childhood, after surgery, she regained the opportunity to further observe the world, so she chose to pick up the camera and use photography as a creative medium to depict her inner thoughts.
之后她在维也纳 University of Applied Arts 攻读摄影及艺术，短短几年就奠定了个人的美学风格，2016年更获得Hasselblad摄影大奖的殊荣，也与 Dior 、Gucci 等时尚品牌合作过，绝对是值得关注的摄影新星。
Strong narrative composition, wandering between uneasiness and melancholy
Evelyn Bencicova is good at precisely arranged composition, with the background of the scene space, coupled with the deliberate posture of the characters, through the allegorical image of classical aesthetics, so that the viewer can feel strong emotions, uneasiness, trepidation, melancholy, fear, sadness, pain, all kneaded into one, arranged imagery, like a movie with a strong story, not the tension of what is about to happen, or the helplessness of what has happened, with a little surreal curiosity, A strong dark atmosphere oozes in the cold white and miserable tones.
Repeat the stack arrangement to illustrate the theme with symbols
Evelyn Bencicova's photographic themes cover many ranges, such as mythology, religion, philosophy, psychology, history, communication, aesthetics, etc., and the human body is the element she most often uses, through a large number of repetitive faces, characters, showing a dazzling homogeneity, so that the viewer feels the sense of irrational absurdity, Evelyn Bencicova's lenses under the model are mostly expressionless, but also add to the eerie and alienating in the image.
In a dramatic way, he criticizes the cold irony of modern society
In the latest work, Evelyn Bencicova takes contemporary mobile phones, VR and other technological products as inspiration, and puts forward black irony to modern society, which makes people feel humorous, but also vaguely carries the blindness and alienation of modern people's lives. And the Slovak-born geography makes Evelyn Bencicova's creations also contain a mockery of the socialist regime, the unification of masks, the blindfolded erasure of consciousness, the stripping of individual groups, and the constant stitching of the complex relationship between politics and the individual.
“To create something amazing and don’t forget to live. Create wonderful things and don't forget about life. ”－－Evelyn Bencicova
