Elein Fleiss "L’Hiver"
"The three women I photographed are friends who live in the same village and surroundings as me. But like me, they also came from elsewhere. I had a vision of women dressed in off-white wool garments and walking in winter landscapes. I started from there. Everything else—post-industrial landscapes, nuclear power plants, and even makeup—came by chance and coincidentally changed the direction of my project. When I say “came by chance,” I mean I decided to let the unexpected come in, which somehow made sense to me.” Elein Fleiss Produced for the exhibition of the same name held at Vacant/Centre (Tokyo) and Elbereth (Kyoto) To coincide with these exhibitions, a booklet entitled L’Hiver will be published. L’Hiver interweaves selections from the past two decades of her diary writing along with her photographic works. The cover is a two-color risograph print replicating the artist’s photograph.
