Reminiscing about the past is a work made with polaroid instant film. To Axelle Van Meel, a memory is a subjective thing. A memory is a reflection of how we experienced a certain event. It’s subjective and varies since everyone looks at the world differently.
My art combines two of my passions - nature and polaroids. Nature never ceases to amaze and inspire me - I don't think I have proper words to describe how I feel about nature.
This series of images, entitled “ODYSSEY”, is the result of my trips through a fragile planet and comprises some of the latest additions to my series of photographs concerning the environment and the allure of the delicate balance and insight into life that Nature provides.
Sometimes I chase myself, putting myself in my thousand knots. Threads that wrap me up and turn into black and desolate veins. Eyes that brush against me and whisper words to me that I have never told myself. I run, I run without ever falling, almost flying, and I see my naked body covered with a blanket that you gave me so long ago. The contrast is now solved. Everything is visible. I was born in a cloud above the distant hill.
Photography as a medium traditionally records a single point in space at a particular point in time. With this project I aim to subvert this idea to produce images which record a journey through the landscape over an extended period of time.
