Double Emotions

Annelie Bruijn (Den Helder 1969), frequently uses layers or illusions; elements which disrupt the image to produce unexpected results while trying to capture the essence of her subjects, like an imperfect memory. This series of photographs are an extension of this layering, using double exposures on 35 mm film, consciously combining skin, organic forms, light and shadows, but shot so that the incidental combinations reveal new forms and emotions. “I'm always looking for something to give my pictures a surrealistic emotional feeling a combination of letting it go and making it happen that creates a dreamy world”
