Ellen Nykvist, Photographer, Stockholm

Description

This striking portrait photograph by Stockholm-based photographer Ellen Nykvist presents a close-up composition of a woman face constructed through a photographic collage technique. Horizontal and vertical strips of photographic prints are offset and layered to fracture the features, revealing segments of the eyes, nose, lips, and chin out of alignment. The visible skin tones and soft lighting emphasize the tactile, handmade nature of the cut-paper assembly. The muted color palette and grainy texture enhance the analog aesthetic of the piece.
