Once Upon a Time in a Mystical Forest

I live in the here and now, nourished by the shrillness and comic aesthetics of recent pop culture that I soaked up like a sponge. But my style has as well retro vibes, expressed through cute vintage-style dresses and a strong affirmation of feminity that is characteristic for the 50s.

Therefore, I said yes without a second thought, when I was asked by young and talented photographer Dave Honegger if I am ready to travel into a mystical vintage dreamland for a shoot. I was full of curiosity to see a place that is different from my bubblegum everyday life and curious to meet another me. This is how we ended up in the forest on an autumn day, a group of strangers coming from all directions of the country, following the call to be part of this project. I was in their midst, as the colourful and different character on the set. I had to think of E.T. a lot when we were all staring at the sky why Dave captured us in this surreal mood.I walked around in the forest with bare feet, feeling the leaves between my toes and hearing them rustle. It was a wonderful journey to a time long ago and it felt strange to be back in 2018 afterwards, where tellys are flat and huge. One thing stayed the same: Most people look the same and there are just a few who dare to be different and stick out.
