In Search of Wonderland (2011-2012)
In her photography Ann Eringstam contrasts the idealized, unrealistic image of reality with our own ideas of norms, reality and identity.
The images from the In Search of Wonderland series were shot in an overwhelmingly beautiful landscape. They are reminiscent of the Romantic, nationalistic images of the past. But just like in Alice in Wonderland, the viewer is thrown into a horribly throbbing unreality. Concepts like true and false don’t matter. The half-hidden, fairytale-like, perhaps alien female figures seem to be looking for something – something that seems unattainable.
