Press Release 2019 Midnight.pdf
Reine Paradis constructs narrative photographs staging herself as the central figure in a surreal landscape.
Shot in many locations throughout America, the photo series "Jungle" takes us on an introspective journey across a symbolic and chromatic world, projected above the limit of reality and imagination. In the series "Midnight," Paradis uses neon color contrasts of almost acidic yellow set in a saturated blue background to create her own fantastical world.
All the scenes are imagined and conceptualized before shooting in real locations. Once the scene is visualized in it’s entirety, Paradis makes sketches and paints the scene to use as a blue print when photographing the final scene. All the costumes, accessories and origamis are meticulously designed and prepared according to the initial vision of the scene.
Each scene is an adventure and a story in and of itself.
