Blue Moon & Ashes

Photo Exhibition in Studio „Herren Simpel“, Hamburg 2016

It is about a Butoh Dance Performance project in cooperation with the awesome Thai German Performance Artist Alyssa Warncke and myself as the Photographer Karlo Walz – Contre Jour Photography.
Self-Expression, Emotions, Energy, Fear, Joy, Bound and Unfold to Freedom is the subject of this Performance. It is more an inner struggle then the reflection of some geopolitical circumstances and changes.
Photography is Art in Action, Voyeurism, and it is also Participation, Immediacy and Mirror of what happens. Making pictures is also impacting what is happening. To increase this situation I used a wide angle lens and get very close (up to a hand breadth) to the artist while doing pictures which forces oneself to move similarly as the artist, foresee what she might do next and from an outer view this might look as a modern dance all together.

PROJECTOR MAPPING ON MY MODEL, PHOTOGRAPHY, 2016

Trying out some projector shooting is like using the model as a canvas for adding some art on top of it. The womans body as a reflection area. Do we not all project something on a womans body but obviously not really pictures but more dreams, behavoiour & wishes and with this not taking into account the soul and spirit of the person. So what if projection will not cosy your dreams and maybe the opposite might come true.
With the awesome Model NineLives we both together created something like „classical experimental photography“.

BONDAGE SHOOTING LEAH, HAMBURG 2016

Bondage Shooting in Hamburg, 2016.
It is a very intimate situation, especially as I shoot very close to the action and find a balance to not be too close but also do not lose contact and be part of visual communication. We never really stopped the process as it flows, and I just tried to capture the moment as it would be a dance of two.
Big thanks to the rigger and the bondage bunny
