Staged photography

Two projects that I realised together with Elisa Rivera.

Concept: Mathias Will, photography: Elisa Rivera.

"Answer to Manet" (2021)

Manet's "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" was realised in a new version by me near Frankfurt. The model that was portrayed in Manet's painting was dressed in a mid-19th century garnement.

The men, on the other hand, are quite lightly dressed.

Performers: Nina Niknafs, Olcayto Uslu, Mathias Will, Aleksandra Modic
