Mila Teshaieva The Island

26. June 2016 to 08. January 2017

The Berlin-based Ukrainian photographer Mila Teshaieva (b. 1974) who has stayed in Alkersum as artist-in-residence on multiple occasions has developed the photo series “The Island” which offers a profound insight into island life on Föhr. Mila Teshaieva was able to establish close contact to the people of Föhr and she portrays them in their particular working and leisure time environments, in a special atmosphere vacillating between everyday reality, fantasy and mysticism. The fascinating light-painting photographs were taken during the dark of night, with the soft light of a lantern generating the inimitable visual aesthetic. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition.
