Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use dmy dates Juno Calypso (born 1989) is a British photographer.[1] Her self-portraits are personal works about feminism, isolation, loneliness and being self-sufficient.[2][3][4] Working alone, Calypso has made highly stylised photographs of herself whilst dressed as a fictional alter-ego, "Joyce", in unusual surroundings.[5] She also works as a commercial photographer.
Calypso was joint winner of the British Journal of Photography International Photography Award in 2016. In 2018 she received the Vic Odden Award from the Royal Photographic Society.
Life and work
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Calypso was born in Hackney, London in 1989.[6][7] She gained an Art Foundation Diploma from Chelsea College of Arts (University of the Arts London) in 2008[8] and a BA in Photography from London College of Communication (University of the Arts London) in 2012.[9]
For her personal work, working alone Calypso has photographed highly stylised[10] self-portraits of herself whilst costumed as a fictional alter-ego, "Joyce",[11][12] a "bored, frustrated, lonely housewife of her imagination",[13] in unfamiliar, unusual and over-the-top surroundings.[5][14]
For her series Joyce, Calypso photographed herself in various hotel rooms.[15][16] The work is about the "oppressive elements of femininity", its "restrictive beauty regimes and modern rituals of seduction".[17] She has said "I'm trying to make a perfect photograph of a woman trying to create a perfect vision of herself."[17]
In The Honeymoon series, she photographed herself alone in an American couples-only honeymoon resort.[3][5][18] Nell Frizzell wrote in The Guardian that "there is a sense of airless claustrophobia about much of Calypso’s work. But in the Honeymoon Hotel pictures, that frustration is twinned with loneliness."[13] Alexandra Genova wrote in Time that her "work is a delicate dance between comedy and despair."[4]
Calypso has said:
I used to take pictures of Joyce as a way of making a critique on the laboured construction of femininity, but now I’m starting to see that the problem isn’t the make-up and bizarre body improvement devices, but the way society treats women who invest so deeply in their appearance."[18]
She also works as a commercial photographer.[10]
