Arina ESSIPOWITSCH

Since 2015 I work together with visual storyteller Dominique HILLE. The common works were based on mixing photography to other media. Both of us took inspiration in true stories and traditional tales, mixing reality and fiction, and used staging. We do not see the narration in/through pictures in a linear way, therefore the installations that we make play with flashbacks, symbolic images and misfitted images to create a polyphonic narration with different starting points. Our projects Blindfold Trust and Through the looking glass are books that contain an equal number of Dominique Hille's and mine photographs folded in the centre so that the photograph of one continues the story began in the photographs of the other.
