"Shakespeare's heroines" by Australian fine-art photographer Renée Munn. Munn; "Ophelia is fragile. Ghostly double exposures suggest this haunting disintegration of what at first glance appears to be a stable, straightforward image. Ophelia’s body belies the tension of being both living and dead, revealed in the cracks that fill the print."
Most of her works are large photographic collages of women, fragmented and manipulated into a beautiful multi dimensional story.
As a photographer Munn is interested in the expressive possibilites of the medium. In her work she explores numerous analogue and traditional darkroom techniques such as double and triple exposure, photogram's, cliché verre and combination printing to alter her figures and create a single image that is both real and imagined. Her collages are finished painted with beeswax and oil paint and are exhibited unframed and tangible.
