Photography helps Kevin Krag to freeze in time his one-of-a-kind sculptures capturing the spiritual dimension, vulnerability, and mortality of his ephemeral pieces. Using ethically sourced archival photography cotton paper integrates another organic and sensual piece to the puzzle, standing the test of time and having the least possible adverse impact on the environment. Working across different media, his productions incorporate nature in a controlled and ritualistic manner, often focusing on life and death, sound and silence, feminine and masculine. For Krag, a guitar is a tool to create an encounter with nature, to spark a dialogue about beauty, to reveal the rapture of a silent music score. Pushing physical limits with the works —by adhering paint or plants or submerging guitars underwater — is part of a personal process that rushes spiritual and emotional limits to discover his sense of self.
This is an evocative color photography series that resonates with both seasoned art enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike.
