Kristine Thiemann

Preview

Kristine Thiemann‘s contribution to Planche(s) Contact 2014 began in May when she came with her team to meet members of Deauville’s clubs and associations. She also recruited “extras” and models by advertising in the press. She quickly won their trust, devising quirky tableaux that nonetheless correspond to the realities of Deauville.

After graduating from the Photography Academy in Hambourg, Kristine Thiemann was an assistant and worked in fashion. She has for some years now developed an interactive work process with inhabitants of several cities. She means to kindle, or in some cases rekindle, people’s awareness of their attachment to their cities. They thus become extras, the photographer’s accomplices and the only characters of her most often burlesque small staging. The photographer establishes a dialogue with the people, observes, scrutinizes the environment, and the shooting turns into a group action in which everyone aspires to the best possible result.
Kristine Thiemann likes to suspend the evolution of society, to have enough time to find her own markers, and narrate some of her burlesque dreams. The artist shortly visited Deauville with her team in May 2014 to meet the inhabitants who instantly became the actors of her humorous and absurdly odd setups.
