Dutch | 1959 - 2023 | Photography / Film
Created meticulously staged, cinematic photographs exploring beauty, identity, sexuality, and societal norms through elaborately constructed tableaux with dramatic lighting and surrealist undertones.
It’s OK
“Once a photographer has learned a few ‘tricks’, they are presented with a choice: keep chasing gimmicks or formulas, or look deeper. It’s OK to be lost. It’s OK not to know what you’re doing. It’s OK to fail. It’s absolutely fine to feel insecure about your work. In fact, all of these things are very cool because they state very loudly that a person is trying, striving, exploring and searching in a very personal sense…. call it what you will.”
Jules Spinatsch
The work of Swiss artist Jules Spinatsch' work feels like a scavenger hunt. It is a confusing combination of very large format imagery and detail. Makes you notice things you would not pay attention to otherwise.
His website is a piece of art on itself, I think.
