세계사진계에서 가장 주목을 받은 여류사진작가 중의 한 사람인 모나 쿤이 뉴욕 첼시
찰스 콜 화랑에서 5월 17일에서 6월 18일까지 전시를 갖고 있다. 오픈 바로 당일
전 작품이 팔려나갈 정도로 화려한 컬러, 강한 에로티시즘의 사진들은 콜렉터라면
꼭 소장하고 싶은 강열한 충둘을 주는 작품들이다. 지금 전세계가 그녀의 사진을
주목하기에 우리도 그녀의 사진들을 주목할 필요가 있다. 이번 찰스 콜 화랑에서의
전시에서도 모나 쿤이 앞으로 어느 정도스타 가능성이 있으며 시장 경쟁력을 갖추고
있는지를 알게 하는 계기가 되었다. 모나 쿤은 1969년 독일에서 태어나 브라질에서
자랐으며 현재는 미국에서 살면서 작업하고 있다. 오하이오 대학에서 미술을 전공했으며,
샌프란시스코 아트 인스티튜트에서 사진을 본격적으로 공부했다. 많은 사람들이 그녀의
사진을 말할 때 빠트리지 않는 것이 바로 아름다운 컬러, 지적 깊이 그리고 신체의
관능성인데 이것들이 그녀의 사진을 바라보는 출발점이다. □ 현대사진연구소

Comments:
Mona Kuhn is a photographer of the private world. She has a fine sense of
composition and an even keener sense of her relationship to her subjects, whether
drawing attention to a body part, a hand, a gaze, or a glimpse of atmosphere
or setting. There is nothing about her work that appears planned, though there
is not a sense that these beautiful photographs are gleaned from a snapshot
mentality. They are the products of a thoughtful sensitive mind and eye - and
persona.
Kuhn understands her subjects not only from the anatomical
and artful form of the body but also from the wispy spirit that speaks privacy.
These subjects are engaged even though they may appear nonchalant. Kuhn's images
have a soft focus, and an even softer and shorter field of depth, factors that
produce a sense of respect, almost an homage to the subjects. While she favors
the nude model, she avoids overtones of suggestion, and because of this approach,
her subjects become even more intensely sensual: the sensuality comes from within
as though the innocence of Eden is still tangent.
Mona Kuhn's photographs
are beautiful. That is to say, she takes beautiful photographs, but she also
photographs a beautiful world. Her subjects are content and sun-kissed, and
the glimpses we get of the landscape surrounding them is one we all wish we
could visit one full of chaises lounges, sand, and saturated colors. But these
photographs are not simply pretty, for they reveal an intelligence and depth
in both photographer and subjects. These are photographs that make one think,
and I happen to think those the best kind
