“The glow of a person, a place, an idea, a feeling” The work by Ephebic Bears

A mythical world. Full of heavy fog. And Hidden Secrets.

“I believe it is that glow I so desperately try to capture. The glow of a person, a place, an idea, a feeling, an atmosphere. feel like I have never been able to capture the real thing; the real thing is too bright, too impossible, perhaps it is not even real at all. My pictures, at least in my own eyes, are an attempt, and ultimately a failure. There are days when I hate my pictures. There are days when they seem like a poor substitute for the real thing, and I seem so graceless with my crutches of film and light and chemicals. … Yet, that glow.. it is so sweet, so very sweet.” tells Katharina Sophia Grabner alias ephebic bears who originally comes from Austria but has emigrated to England for now, where she continues to be a poet and photographer. She is inspired by things such as “coffee grounds & kitchen sinks, truth, fiction; light, dark; people (always quality, never quantity), weight, absence; lilacs, hyacinths, apple trees, silence, space, dreamscapes, night skies, & snowstorms.” and by the people that she takes pictures of. We are inspired by her calm images sparkling with silent beauty and thougtful instants that make you hold your breath for a moment within this ever changing and fast forward moving life.
