Please meet Kathleen Meier, a young, French photographer. Her recent pictures deal with psychology. The series “Huis Clos”, I guess, with the effects of quarantine. Huis Clos is a french term for “in camera” meetings, I learned.
But it is also the title of a Sartre drama, dealing with hell. Which in the drama turns out not to be the devil. Instruments of torture are the others. Without knowing too much about this topic, I would say, hell is within everyone of us rather than created by external influences. But then again, we are made up of what shaped us as kids and youngsters. So maybe Sartre is right after all… To close this short digression into psychology – I believe, that as of a certain age (around 45 or so) one should be finished fighting any haunting ghosts of old.
But back to Mrs. Meier: her photographs are touching, I think. At the same time of a very straight-forward beauty, I like a lot. Hope, you do, too…

What I noticed was that almost every picture includes a dark corner. The kind that lurky things would be drawn too and others would whistle past. Kind of haunting. Wish my reaction was more upbeat like Joan’s! Still . . . very cool.

I love it, architecture from the inside. Clean lines, pretty wallpaper from a bygone era, interesting nooks and crannies, reminds me of a turn of the century home we considered when we were house-hunting last summer. 🙂

I thought, the pictures breathe memories of lives…

Danke für die thematische Bebilderung.
Selbst habe ich gerade den Text “Geschlossene Gesellschaft” über ein hiesiges Pflegeheim unter Corona-Verschluss. Seit Muttertag sind wieder Besuche möglich.
Gute Wünsche und viele Grüße

Ja, ist auch so ein Thema. Mein Vater wird nun – nach der noch immer anhaltenden Besuchssperre – auch meine Mutter nicht mehr wiedererkennen. An guten Tagen war ihm das bisweilen noch möglich.
