Roberto Muffoletto, the director of VASA, sent us this portfolio by Fran Forman entitled Midnight Sun. It is accompanied by these few words.
In her body of work “Midnight Sun” American photographer Fran Forman recreates a painterly world of mystery and fantasy to release and lose herself into her own creative universe. The images traverse through an unknown world, where the characters of her story as well as the viewers submerge themselves into this uncanny and extraordinary world.
Her fairy tale world seems to have evolved out of a process of many extremely creative years that discovered the use of camera amalgamating with support of changing technology to enhance her storytelling and imagery opening a surreal world for the viewer.
Fran calls her works photo paintings, which are actually way beyond what they seem to appear to the naked eye and the thinking mind.
A first reaction to Fran’s work maybe to that of a visual poet, a dreamer and an idealist living in a practical world of physicalities, yet never giving up on the faith in her dreamlike world of contradictions. These contradictions are a way of life, that questions the conscious and the subconscious, the reality and the perception, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
