J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Mona Kuhn

By blending technique, process and intent Kuhn brings transcendent reflections to light by exploring shadows. Collaborating with her subjects, all enter into an undefined space to await the moment where art and life coalesce. In this session Kuhn’s restless energy generously shares her meditative photographic practice.   In this book group, Mona Kuhn discusses, among other things:The humanist influence of Brazilian photographer, Mario Cravo NetoAllowing life to enter one’s workAn image which keeps on giving, lastsThe role of vulnerability and insecurities to propel workThe collaborative role of the subject, their creative freedom which grants them the final decision in allowing publicationBeing led by shadowBeing dressed in your own skinThe fecundity of the femaleDiscerning and protecting your visual vocabularyIntuitive intelligence and the abundance of the unconsciousReferenced in the episodeBODY The Photography Book Nathalie HerschdorferLucian FreudImogen CunninghamAugust Colbert - Origin of the WorldMario Cravo NetoChristian Cavo’s workGetty Research InstituteMONA KUHN Website | InstagramEngage with J.
