THEME MAGAZINE N°20




Interview by Tim Chan for THEME magazine.
This issue is curated by Peter Sutherland.

"French photographer Estelle Hanania is soft-spoken, a little shy, and very polite. Mix in her delicate French accent and quiet giggles and you might get the impression she’s the type of girl who takes romantic photographs of couples cuddling over cappuccinos on a tiny side-street overlooking the Champs- Élysées. But you’d be wrong. This is a photographer who’s fascinated by the macabre, a girl who grew up obsessing over costumes and folklore and the messages they convey. Her quirky, narrative photography mixes still life and landscape imagery to create portraits that are at once theatrical and solemn."(...)

The Noble Savage and the Little Tramp / Mount Tremper NY




I'm part of a group show curated by Hannah Whitaker

The Noble Savage and the Little Tramp

August 6 – 30

Mount Tremper New York

Curated by Hannah Whitaker
Featuring: Nayland Blake, Lucas Blalock, Gil Blank, Caleb Considine, Trisha Donnelly, Michaela Fruhwirth, Jonah Groeneboer, Estelle Hanania, Anya Kielar, Boru O’Brien O’Connell, Arthur Ou, Matthew Porter, Noah Sheldon, Mary Weatherford, James Welling and Mark Wyse.


The Noble Savage and the Little Tramp is an exhibition of works made through reductive acts in search of the basic, primal, or mechanical. Whether through an image reduced to mark on ground or a person reduced to biological imperative these works travel along similarly direct pathways, but deviate in their destinations. Amidst a global interconnectedness of ever increasing horror and complexity, they asymptotically approach a basic center, where hard meaning can reliably be found, like a rock smoothed through violent friction. The result is fragmentation without reassembly. This shedding of complication carries an edge of delusion, but knowingly so, since these are acts not of escapism but of affirmation.
