НИКОЛА КУПЕРУС

source: featureshoot

Musician and photographer Nicola Kuperus constructs beautiful, unsettling images with her hometown of Detroit, Michigan as her backdrop. One half of the eletronic band ADULT., Kuperus’ early videos and performances for the band are haunted with the same macabre, Hitchcock-esque imagery. In her series Dark, Colorful World, Kuperus further plays on dislocation and suspected violence as she poses her models in cropped, stiff, and awkward positions. With the buildings and green suburbs of Detroit present but never obvious, the staged images evoke a feeling of discomfort and unknown.

We’ve all got our fetishes. Go on, you know you do, it’s cool, so have we. Some like leather, others get their kicks from dressing up like a baby and getting kicked around a dungeon…so we’ve heard…But some people are more easily pleased, like Detroit-based photographer/videographer Nicola Kuperus.

By focussing his lens on woman’s legs and placing them in precarious and often sinister situations, Kuperus has managed to create a series of photographs that are not only suggestive of the female form, but also vivid in their storytelling. Often the other half of the subject is out of frame or hidden in someway, evoking a sense of danger or intrigue and exposing the fragility and vulnerability of the naked leg. Kuperus also keeps to a slightly 1950/60s feel with all of the pairs of pins adorned with heels and the sets dressed with Chevys and Cadillacs.

It’s kind of like if the Wicked Witch worked for Sterling Cooper and was getting boned by Don Draper.

Como se fossem fotogramas de um (bom) filme de terror, as obras fotográficas de Nicola Kuperus representam quase sempre modelos femininas, parcialmente fora do enquadramento, em situações pós (ou na eminência de) um acidente. Nicola Kuperus, desenvolve a sua actividade de fotógrafa a partir da cidade de Detroit (talvez por isso a presença constante de belos carros vintage americanos) paralelamente com a carreira musical. Além de integrar a banda punk/electónica “Adult”, colaborou em 2003 com as “Chicks on Speed” numa das músicas do album “99 Cents”.

Birçok insanın bir fetişi vardır. Detroitli fotoğrafçı ve ‘videographer’ Nicola Kuperus’un fetişi de bacaklar. Üstelik bu fetişini sanatıyla birleştirmiş ve kendini bacak fotoğraflamaya adamış. Neyse ki bacak fetişi!

O modellerini tehlikeli ve kimi zaman absürt mekanlara yerleştiriyor ve bu anlarda objektifini modellerinin bacaklarına çeviriyor. Anlayacağınız bunlar sadece öylesine çekilmiş bacak fotoğrafları değil, her birinin bir hikayesi var. Fotoğraflara bakıldığında anlaşılacağı üzere bu hikayelerin hepsi de 50 ve 60’ların atmosferinde; stilettolar ve pileli elbiselerle, Chevrolet’ler ve Cadillac’larla geçiyor. Belli ki bu yıllar da Kuperus’un bir başka takıntısı…

Nicola Kuperusはアメリカのミシガン州南東部にある都市デトロイトで活動するファッション・フォトグラファーで、彼女の撮影するフォトシリーズに写るモデルは不自然なカットで切り取られた作品が数多く存在する。それは一目見た瞬間に違和感を覚え「どうしてこうなった….。」と、思えてくるだろう。そして、そのユニークな作風に次第に心惹かれるかもしれない。

このフォトシリーズはデトロイトで生まれ、デトロイトでファッション・フォトグラファーとして働いている事が大きな影響を与えたという。だが、スタート時はファッション・フォトグラファーとして集中して作品を撮り続けてきたが、その作風がデトロイトの多くの人の目にとまり、やがてはレコード会社からのアプローチでそのユニークな手法をそのまま撮ってくれるよう依頼が舞い込むようになった。
