NAUTILUS PERSONAE

The nautilus belongs to those forms that have fascinated art for centuries — poised between mathematics, nature, memory and myth. In the Wunderkammern of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, nautilus shells were transformed into precious objects suspended between science, luxury and imagination.

Only with the photographic modernism of the 1920s and 1930s did the nautilus become an aesthetic icon. Photographers such as Karl Blossfeldt, Edward Weston, Edward Steichen or Horst P. Horst discovered in shells and molluscs not merely natural specimens, but abstract structures of light, rhythm and geometry.

In the post-photographic series Nautilus Personae, the nautilus appears in direct relation to the human body — as an image of memory, perception and inner worlds.

Why does this form exert such a fascination?
And what happens when it is brought into relation with the human body?

Baba Yaga (Ба́ба-Яга́) 
is neither good nor evil,
neither young nor old.

At once beautiful and terrible,
she stands at the threshold –

and whoever meets her does not return unchanged.
