Little Red Riding Hood is one staged photography from the series The Flying Fish which I did in Sweden 2000 - 2003. The situations I invent in The Flying Fish have a surrealistic atmosphere. The landscape becomes a theater stage for dream- and nightmare like scenarios in which the protagonists play archetypical rolls. They are no winner-types, instead they are constantly searching for each other but it seems they are not finding what they are looking for. The heroes are both victims and offenders and their actions are not fully comprehensible. The Flying Fish speaks about a world we are living in which resembles a mentally destructive machinery for people. Little Red Riding Hood is mounted on aluminum and framed in a white vanished wooden frame. It is protected by acrylic glass. The image is taken on 6 x 7 cm color negative and enlarged on Fuji photo paper in RA-4 process ( fully analog). No digital editing or retouch has been made. The series has been exhibited in The Gothenburg Museum of Arts (Hasselblad Center) and in galleries in Sweden, France and Germany.

Boris Duhm is born 1971 in Aachen, Germany. He lives and works in Germany Artist Statement Boris Duhms works deal with a visualisation of the mental state of our societies, the contemporary conditio humana. When a situation becomes an image it can become symbolic and gain a political and social dimension. Already in 2007 the philosopher Jean Baudrillard pointed out a change of human perception: reality is percepted as something irrational, vice versa fiction is taken as fact. Boris Duhm ́s analogue photo-stagings, sculptures, paintings, drawings, performances and collages are a journey into this interspace of reality and perception. The figures, which are represented on images or three-dimensional in the exhibition- or in public-space, reveal their nature primal to a closer look. They seem to merge into the environment they move in. Often the fictional places on Boris´ photographs are located in nature, which change into stages on the purely analogue photographs by the existentialistic artist. Here the human drama is performed. Duhm succeeds in transforming the real place into a collective place of memory, where everybody can find oneself in pictures of memory of his own life. The disguised figures populating these places are not themselves but have fulfilled a metamorphosis. They reside in an as-well-as, in a condition of refraction. In "Self as Fern" for example, the artist goes far beyond masquerade: in a mimetic gesture the artist really transforms into a primeval plant. Especially in his latest works, the radicalness of Boris Duhm ́s artist position shows a clear political and social concern and tries to get to the bottom of the authenticity of photographic imprints themselves.

Boris Duhm has been working as teacher for fine art and photography at various universities and art schools in Europe and Asia. www.borisduhm.com www.intagram.com/borisduhm/ Search "Boris Duhm" on google !
