About this ebook

With my art I want to create another world apart from the existing. My work is not about concrete stories derived from reality, but about creating an atmosphere that evokes associations and contemplations. Women are usually pictured from the outside, their appearance is what matters. In this way beauty ideals are confirmed over and over again. My work is about expressing the inner world of women by making portraits that show feelings such as despair and doubt, loneliness, dreaminess, serenity and sensuality.
My aim is to create a mysterious atmosphere. My photos sometimes look like paintings. Others resemble slowly fading frescoes, dissolving in a fluid atmosphere. The photos are based on arranged scenes with performers, which I have captured in photo and video. This book consists of different series that were taken between 2011 and 2020.

Author

Ellen Schippers

Since the eighties, I have used various art forms to research the feminine role. As a result I felt the urge to portray women in a different way than the standard image. The art forms that I work with are performances with wearable sculptures, fashion designs, videos, installations and photography. In addition I use music and poetry.I started my career with performances in galleries, theaters and festivals in the Netherlands and abroad: Kleine Komedie, Brakke Grond, Panama, Escape, Melkweg, Paradiso, Mazzo, Maison Descartes and Vondelpark Open Air Theatre in Amsterdam, the Hippodrome Theatre in Londen, the World Science Fiction Congress and the Wiener Sommer Symposion in Vienna.From 2008 on my work was exhibited in solo exhibitions: Image & I-magic (2008), Frauensehnsucht (2010), Snowwhite & Sherazade (2012) and Lost in Transition (2017). And in group exhibitions: the Photoville Festival New York, the Sirius Gallery Tokyo, International Video Art Festival Athens, Redleaf Gallery Londen, Swiss Art Space Lausanne, the Affordable Art Fair Londen, Media Museum Pescara, Biennale le Latitudini dell Arte Genua, Gallery Hyperflexion South Africa. In 2010 I was the main artist in the International Women Art Festival in Aleppo (Syria). And in 2014 chosen as Photo Talent of GUP (Guide Unique Photography).
