Her photographs feature a circle of acquaintances and respond to existing, and too often clich\u00e9d, representation of femininity. Simond doesn\u2019t take her photographs on a built set but against a white background, often a white wall in the domestic surroundings of the model herself. The equipment is simple. The level of trust between the model and the photographer is high. This minimal method allows Simond to get close to her subjects. Model and photographer move around each other which results into unexpected and dynamic perspectives. Simond tries to capture the intimate moments, undirected. The portrayed women are strong and soft at the same time. Foam will show black-and-white as well as colour works including a tryptic of Simond\u2019s portraits in an intimate exhibition at Foam 3h, Foam\u2019s space for young photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Rayon Vert takes its title from a rare optical phenomenon of green flashes and rays that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise. A green spot is visible for a short period of time above the sun, or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point. When this phenomenon occurs is never predictable. To Simond, this rare moment is a metaphor for photography and the magic that can happen between a photographer and her model. Rayon Vert is also the title of a film by the French director Eric Rohmer from 1986 that had an important influence on Simond\u2019s working method and the image language.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Commissioned by Foam Artist Senta Simond Curator Kim Knoppers Date 7 september \u2013 28 october 2018 Senta Simond&#8217;s work focuses [&hellip;]\n&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/2018\/09\/senta-simond-rayon-vert\/\">>>><\/a><\/a>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-curating"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1630"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1948,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1630\/revisions\/1948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
