About the artworkStina Brockman’s photographs blur the boundary between inner and outer reality. In her black-and-white images, bodies become abstract landscapes of shapes and shadows. The series There You Are! shows a dim silhouette of a body in the ripples on the water’s surface. The pictures were taken in California, during a period when Brockman was obsessed with Carl Gustav Jung’s theories on the Shadow, the dark and repressed aspects of the conscious. Later, the photographs brought back a forgotten memory from childhood of nearly drowning. Brockman recalled how the harsh, noisy world above the surface faded, and how a calming light appeared on the way down to the bottom.
