Tristan Hollingsworth's obsessions

“My photographic approach? Obsession”, says Tristan Hollingsworth. Multiple exposures, naked bodies, soft focus, flowers and twilight intersect and intertwine in the works of the photographer from Los Angeles. A collection of images with a hauntingly dreamlike quality. “I do enjoy the feeling of standing between two realities. To be just outside of what resembles normalcy. Our cultures are diving more and more into a sea of fear, of consumerism, and I use art to take myself off that programming. Feelings are key elements of my work – breathing and feeling”, explains the artist. Sometimes romantic, sometimes graphic, his creations evoke familiar worlds, where intimacy, sensuality and freedom take over our fears. Like a graceful waltz, the artist’s favourite subjects keep reappearing and become a comforting, captivating presence. “The delicate, soft, sometimes melancholic living Earth, is my favourite subject,” he concludes.
