Transfigurations: A Collaboration

Lensculture always has good stuff to look at. These photographs by Richard Bram paired with paintings by Silvia Willkens are intriguing. This collection invites us to take a look at masks and their power to transform.

Utilising Willkens’ paintings, inspired by the faces in Early Renaissance masters such as Giotto and della Francesca, Bram and Willkens used the paintings as masks, the identity of the flesh-and-blood model merging with the painted image.
