EVIDENCE
by Mona Kuhn
Essay by Gordon Baldwin
Story by Frederic Tuten
Published by Steidl, 2007
Critics have observed that Mona Kuhn's subjects seem "nude but not naked". Completely relaxed before the camera, they give the impression that nothing could clothe them better than their own skin." Kuhn, who photographs in the naturist or nudist community, often in domestic interiors, weaves together gestures from the traditional iconography of nude studies with the comfortable body language of her subjects, creating a visual patois at once classical and contemporary. And beneath the mellow surfaces of her photographs lies an explosive energy: the artist's controlled play with the power of sensuality. Tension and uneasiness coexist with all that sunlight and soft flesh. The subjects and their gestures are suggestive but ultimately ambiguous. Tenuously held planes of focus provoke the imagination. Kuhn works very close to her subjects, often with a depth of field of only a few inches. Real world and image world seem to blend together as her figures unite the reality of human complexity with the blissful essence of nature. With only sparse reference to physical surroundings, they appear to float in an idyllic picture space, part of a dreamlike narrative just beyond the viewer's comprehension. These exceptional photographs exist in a space created by the artist and subject alone--the viewer is given a single fascinating glimpse, suspended in time, and then an enduring sense of the resilience and vulnerability of the human body.

PHOTOGRAPHS
by Mona Kuhn
Published by Steidl, 2004
Seeking the innermost self in her photographs, Kuhn achieves a mood of intimacy by photographing up close models she knows well. Her photographs are a product of lasting relationships built on mutual affection. In a sense, the images are based on the memory of shared experiences. – Julie Nelson
The people in Mona Kuhn’s photographs are nude but not naked. Completely relaxed before the camera, they give the impression that nothing could clothe them better than their own skin. With a unique style, Kuhn’s intimate photographs of both young and old are sensual compositions of skin and wrinkles, light and shadow, gestures and gazes. She creates taughtly composed images which balance sharply rendered portraits against blurred backgrounds to lure the eye and provoke the imagination.

ANGKOR
by Rolfe Horn
Published by Nazraeli Press, 2001
When Henri Mouhout, a French naturalist, discovered the
ruins of Angkor in 1860, he was astounded by its immense
complex of temples. Boasting over 70 monuments spread over
an area of 200 square kilometers, perhaps only the structures
along Egypt’s Nile River could compare. Some felt
that only the legions of Alexander the Great could have
accomplished such a feat, yet it took an entire civilization
to build it. Angkor is a majestic display of vision, tribute
and aesthetics that features amazing diversity in style
and method. Angkor, an anonymous work, is the subject of
Rolfe Horn’s first book. Like the places they depict,
there is a familiarity to Horn’s images, but there
is a subtlety here that demands attention. The interplay
of surface and depth directs our eyes over every inch of
the images, leaving us to contemplate the existence of simple
beauty. These images give us insight not only into the beauty
of the medium and the subject matter, but also into that
of existence . . . more specifically, ours. Printed in an
edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, each copy of
Angkor contains 12 original silver gelatin photographs,
printed and archivally processed by the artist. Slipcased,
with an introduction by Garrison Beau Scott.
32 pages, 12 original 5 x 5 sepia toned gelatin silver photograph, printed by the artist
