Produktbeschreibung
"Seeking the innermost self in her photographs, Kuhn achieves a mood of intimacy by photographing up close models she knows well. Her photographs are a product of lasting relationships built on mutual affection. In a sense, the images are based on the memory of shared experiences." Julie Nelson The people in Mona Kuhn’s photographs are nude but not naked. Completely relaxed before the camera, they give the impression that nothing could clothe them better than their own skin. With a unique style, Kuhn’s intimate photographs of both young and old are sensual compositions of skin and wrinkles, light and shadow, gestures and gazes. She creates taughtly composed images which balance sharply rendered portraits against blurred backgrounds to lure the eye and provoke the imagination.
Rezensionen

Perlentaucher-Notiz zur FR-Rezension

Ulf Erdmann Zimmer ist zuversichtlich, dass Mona Kuhns "Photographs" in Deutschland ihr Publikum finden werden. Eines, das die Bilder einer "sanften Botin der Anti-68-Restauration" zu schätzen weiß, so sein beißender Kommentar. In diesen Fotos, "quadratischen, lichtdurchfluteten Bilder von Körpern", inszeniert in "Fühlmichwohl", kann er bei aller ausgestellter Nacktheit nicht mehr entdecken, als den Abdruck eines spießigen Puritanismus. Es handelt sich um Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien, weichgezeichnete Körper hinter scharfen Details im Vordergrund, meist Händen. Nun spricht Erdmann Ziegler der Künstlerin zwar weder technische Ausgefeiltheit noch einen eigenen, markanten Stil ab, sieht sie jedoch, wenn wir ihn recht verstehen, befangen in einer Welt bürgerlichen Wohlstands: "Im Off eines jeden Bildes hört man das Klacken einer Mercedstür."
