Publisher Note
Sandrine Elberg’s photographic work mixes identity quest and formal exploration. The artist delivers ambivalent images from hostile territories, connected to our collective imagination. Dressed with a mask from young girl Shakumi from the Noh Theater, she represents the character of 雪女 Yuki-Onna and invites us to reverie and contemplation.
雪女 Yuki-Onna is a Japanese folkloric character, a Yôkai, a spirit or a ghost who appears at night in regions where it snows a lot. She is described in different manners, sometimes as a huge woman sometimes as a snow-covered landscape. She represents the duality of winter, in between smooth beauty and violent storms. A part of Sandrine Elberg’s work consists in interfering with the negative. The altered image becomes then a transcendent image.
