Nothing is as it seems. Not even, no, especially not when bathing in innocence. This is the controversial photographer Liesje Reyskens aims for in her work. While serving up childlike naivety like overly sweet, flashy pink whipped cream cake, she hacks in with a surreal blade. The extravagant perfection the spectator’s first experience makes way for the feeling something sinister is lurking around, as it is in real life.
As a child of her time, undeterred by technological progress, this artist invested in the reconnaissance of arts virtual possibilities. Reyskens sole handedly added a new dimension to photography.
The result is an app, which, as a fairytale prince kisses the princesses and the dreamlike scenes to life.
