A RTI ST PROFI LE

ASGER CARLSEN Words by Tess Martin All images from the series ‘Hester ’

FAINT MAGAZINE

THE BARE ISSUE

Drawn from the surrealism art movement, Carlsen’s premise seems to be to make the viewer question reality. His work has an idiosyncratic evocation that forces the viewer to question not only what is being depicted, but also, the interpretation in relation to their own lives. Much of Carlsen’s work is doctored and manipulated to obstruct the course of normality and literal thinking. His work is not, however, fantastical. It does not elude the viewer completely from reality; rather it prompts the connection between strangeness and beauty, between reality and distortion. Tim Barber, who has written the foreword in Carlsen’s debut photographic book, wrote, “They are familiar, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in these photographs except everything,” about the pictures.

Asger Carlsen is a manipulator.

sger Carlsen can call himself a photographer, an artist, a contemporary visual designer and a manipulator.

FAINT MAGAZINE

He was born in 1973 in Denmark and now lives in New York, where his success has since propelled him into worldwide acclaim.

THE BARE ISSUE

Works including ‘Wrong’, ‘Voyeurism’ and ‘Hester’ elicit the said sentiment. The content of Carlsen’s work is confronting yet endearing. One may be left feeling ominously disturbed by the alien like figures in his work. Carlsen’s project, ‘Hester’, highlights his photographic and artistic ingenuity as well as the raw, bare essence of the human body. ‘Hester’ is a collection of manipulated photographs. Depicted are distorted figures and body parts adjoining other, wrong body parts. There is a consistent use of the female sex organ, sometimes connecting to a knee, or an underarm, however this subtlety is only detected upon close inspection, like much of his work.

FAINT MAGAZINE

THE BARE ISSUE

he images are synonymous with art-house horror movies, and the black and white contrast especially highlights the eeriness. There is no personality or humanity attached to the images because the heads and limbs have been cut off, which give the bodies a monstrous appeal…perhaps an imbedded, delicate undertone.

“

They are ‘manipulated’ to create new narratives in the picture. So telling the obvious stories don’t challenge the mind in my opinion. I’m constantly on the look for the ambiguous in conversation or things I see doing my walk around the city...I guess it’s really about my strong need for entertaining myself and maybe reality is enough for me”, says Carlsen. Carlsen uses limited technical alteration, which effectively broadens the concept of an ‘unrealistic reality’. He says, “It’s a hard balance between real and fake looking. I don’t think “perfect photography” is interesting at all and I don’t get anything out [of] looking at the “beautiful image”...I want to push reality so that is why I produce my images in a low tech way.” Ultimately, Carlsen intends to shock, alter, and open the minds of his viewers. In ‘Hester’, Asger Carlsen objectifies the human body by distorting the placement on body parts using photographic manipulation, and thus, distorting the viewers inherently logical thinking. His debut photographic book ‘Wrong’, was published by Mörel Books in London and is available for purchase online.

INTERVIEW BY KELLIE ARBUCKLE

What art do you produce and what is the process?

Where do you find inspiration? Most of the time solitude inspires me, especially when travel alone somewhere, when I have to stay only with my thoughts. Also, some women, concrete, autumn, gloom and all this shining empty pop, which I hate.

Mostly I do non-commercial, non-entertaining art. I wander the dark corners. I focus on photography. I take photographs only with film-cameras and make prints in my own darkroom.

When I create, I give the main attention to aesthet- Do you have an upcoming exhibition or are you ics and philosophy. I also like to play music with working on anything new at the moment? Tell me my friends, to film and sometimes to draw or about this. mould. FAINT MAGAZINE

FAINT MAGAZINE

THE BARE ISSUE

What art do you produce and what is the process? I make charcoal drawings of people, and about people. It involves taking (a lot!) of source photographs and editing them into an image I’m happy with before getting stuck in with the charcoal. Each drawing takes between 100 -130 hours.

I hope to convey something in each drawing that is powerful, interesting or unique through to evoke some kind of emotional response from the viewer. On a very surface level, the fact that they are drawings and not photographs hopefully intrigues people enough to take a closer look, at which point I hope that they’re able to respond in some way to the plight of the figures within the drawings.

DESIGNER PROFILE WORDS BY TULLY WALTER

ATEA LUSCE

FAINT MAGAZINE

Matea Gluscevic has full confidence that she can “figure out how to make anything she can think of,” and to view her portfolio of handmade shoes and accessories, I learn that she is not wrong. As diverse as it is eclectic, her body of work is exciting. Her innovative use of materials, including rabbit fur, pvc, and rhinestones, THE BARE ISSUE

teamed with a wide vocabulary rationale for its aesthetic success, of cuts and styles has resulted in is the informal balance within the polarities of her fused materials, and principles, delivered with an inherent understanding and control.

EVIC

an original and surprising portfolio. Her designs, consisting of unexpected combinations, from gladiator clogs merging biblical with architectural elements or leather lined boxing boots in luscious red velvet, to necklaces made of clunky nuts and plumbing fasteners, are each brave yet beautiful concepts. What unites Gluscevic’s body of work, and is FAINT MAGAZINE

“An image in her head that she needs to realise,” is what Gluscevic says drives her. She draws inspiration from film, nature and the work of other designers/ costume designers and credits working with light and transparency as presenting a “whole realm of possibilities when creating things.” Meanwhile, she maintains that “it’s important not to care about what people think,” during the design process, as to avoid any potential to dilute and suppress the inception of the idea. Her current of work subtly mirrors her bio, although having always wanted to do something fashion related, her studies in both industrial design, the vi96

sual arts, and a stint in Japan all seemingly informs her portfolio. She completed certificate 4 in footwear earlier this year as to be taught, a specialised, unique field of fashion and gain skills she couldn’t learn anywhere else. Her creations are articulated with a sophisticated, underlying construction and comprehension of design principles, drawn only from an affinity with design. She matches this high order of understanding with a quirky sense of cool, and at times a powerful edge, or conceptual aesthetic, reminiscent of Avant Garde Japan, and even Harajuko subcultures. The works are one off, skimming the fashion zeitgeist of conceptual wear, yet delivering original and informed designs, executed with precision and formality. Her works have featured in both “Attitude” and “Adelaide” magazines and “SALA” exhibition in the “Barlow shoes” window. She THE BARE ISSUE

is a contributor to machinefiles. blogspot and is currently curating an exhibition titled “Non mode” focusing on works that lay within the unique realm between art and fashion, consisting of works that belong in neither a retail environment nor a gallery featuring other artists Sally Axford, Lachlan Lang, Tsering Hannaford, Kat Botten, Steph Mountzouris, Born On The Cusp (Tim Stratton and Sophie Guerin.) Whilst Gluscevic says ideally she’d want to be a shoemaker and stylist, making specialist items for various shoots, and much of her work cheekily tilts on the edge of commercial wearability, her wooden clogs have stirred a lust in me so powerful, I feel like planting my Jeffrey Campbells beside my ugg boots, as I think I’ve found my summer love! I hope some retail ventures will be on the cards in the near future.

OVERVIEW “We Live Alone came about over the Summer when I began moving into a new flat. I traveled up, just after the previous tenants had moved out and the rooms were almost totally bare. There was almost no evidence of anyone living in the flat, other than a few left over tins in the cupboards. The living room is really quite large but at the time only contained two small sofas and a coffee table. The space had so much photographic potential and I knew I had to use it before everyone else moved in. I felt like anything I made would be quite personal so I invited my friend and model Rebecca over to let me photograph her. We shot for a few hours, just her and I in the empty house. There were no personal possessions, decoration or any items that would signal the presence of anyone living there. It felt like we were shooting in a squat or abandoned building. I got a very overwhelming sense of being alone. Later, when looking through the negatives, I got the same sense of solitude. We had both inhabited that empty space together for a short time, and because no one else had been there for a while, and no one officially lived there yet, I felt like we had lived there together for those few hours. I suppose looking back now, the series should be titled ‘We Lived Alone’, but at the time, everything felt very fresh, and the present tense seemed more appropriate. It wouldn’t be right to rename the series. Now my flat mates and I have all finished moving our things in, nothing seems to remain of the empty house before. The rooms now have their own stamps of identity and personality. We have filled the walls with our personal belongings and memories. We no longer live alone.” - SAMUEL BRADLEY
