Secret Garden

Michelle Blancke (1984) is a photographer and student at the Fotoacademie in Amsterdam. The themes she engages with are identity, spirituality, autonomy and intimacy. Using her camera, she looks for elusive energy. She carefully shows the essence and special force of - every day - things as she sees it. The subject comes close but retains its own integrity and autonomy. In her work, one can feel there is more outside of the limits of the image. She identifies with the notions of Romance about the sublime in nature but also with the focus on archetypes, spirituality and the inner world of female Surrealists.
