Anne Noble, a renowned New-Zealand photographer, speaks of her work as a form of ‘alternative archeology’. This series of around forty images is dedicated to her daughter, Ruby, and until now, it has only been displayed in New Zealand, Australia, Germany and Spain. Owing to the deliberately disproportionate scale of the images (compared with the apparent banality of the subject), the artist attempts to highlight details of the mouth in a rather unusual manner. Through the use of strongly contrasting colors and direct flash, this part of the body is captured in numerous symbolic modes: eating, expression, and speaking etc.
