FREDA+WOOLF now welcomes Berlin-based photographer Celine YASEMIN on the roster and presents her LGBT+ portrait project ‘21 Grams’ on GoSee
FREDA+WOOLF is delighted to welcome photographer Celine YASEMIN : “Intimate, raw and unfiltered, her work grants an extremely authentic and intimate glimpse into the lives of her subjects, exploring the complexities surrounding human nature such as identity, individualism and sensuality. It has been published in i-D Magazine, Der Spiegel and Paper Magazine, among others. The photo series ‘21 Grams’ featured in i-D Magazine captures the unconventional beauty and softness of LGBT+ couples and individuals.”
The project by Celine Yasemin was published in a book at Kettler Publishing: “21 grams – is said to be the weight of the human soul. But what does the soul do? What makes us human? What do friendship, relationship, partnership mean? How and, most importantly, who defines us and our (gender) identity, our way of loving and living? Is it society? We ourselves? In her book, photographer Celine Yasemin explores these fundamental questions. To do so, she focused her lens on friends and brief acquaintances – individuals with different cultural and social backgrounds who don’t identify with the so-called norm, who live a self-determined life shaped by their own experiences, preferences, and concepts of how life should be, and who comply neither with traditional roles nor relationship models.
With deeply empathetic images, Yasemin portrays her subjects, showing them when they are most vulnerable : in their private environment, in bed, naked, without makeup – and without sugarcoating. Her keen sense for detail and careful choice of lighting have resulted in images full of intimacy, dignity, and strength. This book serves as a testimony to acceptance of one another’s differences and to mutual respect.
