5centsapound:Kristin-Lee Mooman (Johannesburg, SA) Moolman is based in Johannesburg and says she is inspired by “the contrasting nature of the city” as well as its diverse creative community. She grew up in a small town in Karoo, a semi-desert region of South Africa, and studied art before taking up photography.Her aim, she says, is to present an alternative to stereotypical images of the continent often presented in local and international media.“[It’s] the idea of creating a fictional mythology or place based on the synthesis of political, personal and visual stimuli experienced while living in this particular place at this particular time,” she explains. “Essentially the idea of a ‘new’ Africa existing in a separate reality where themes like sexuality, violence and black magic are prevalent – explored alongside concepts of security, segregation and the conflict between the constructed and the natural.”currently showing as part of the Dandyism and Black Masculinity show -- source link
