"Mesmerising" Lens Culture

2015 Prix de la Photographie Paris, Honorary Winner

Images of ‘persecuted heroines in Ladybird fairy tales are transformed through fire interventions. Manipulating the narrative in different ways much like our ancestors’ voices have adapted and refined folk narratives through storytelling around the fire. Fire—a symbol of hearth and home, destruction, trial, purging, and purification— prompts contradictory and dramatic associations, which overlap the religious, secular, and political. The flames suggest new narratives, which critically explore and question the roles played by women.
