About the Item

SCENES #12G1 /2013, 40x30x2cm [From Carmen's photo novel His Good Right] Digital archival pigment print based on an original Polaroid on beautiful PHOTO RAG ® ULTRA SMOOTH paper, 305gsm, 100% cotton by HAHNEMÜHLE, mounted on Aluminum 2mm - uncoated, embedded in a wooden matte shadow frame. Hand signed & numbered by the artist. Edition of 7, this is no. 1 of 7 This photo was published in my monograph The Eyes of the Fox, 2018. This photo has been exhibited in 2019 in PAK Oostende, expo Black Satin. The Belgian photographer Carmen De Vos shoots Polaroids to frame her mental (sexual) escapades. She enormously longs for what she’s afraid to loose: real human contact, the slowness of being and creating, the tangibility of materials. She thinks up situations and collects fantasies. Almost without exception she uses old Polaroid camera’s, long time expired film and self-made filters. Her tools and methods are film bleaching and deliberate film obstruction are not geared towards a perfect representation. They often yield results – such as colorization, deformation, unsharpness. Furthermore she is fascinated by the unreliability of the human memory as an instrument for recording reality. Our recollection is at best a potpourri of isolated but genuine events. Often not even that. Our memory assails us with a medley of impressions we have assembled throughout the years. Our brain orders, rearranges, adapts, interprets, colors, de-colorizes, dims and accentuates these memories of our wannabe past independently of our conscious will. In many ways as do her Polaroid pictures.
