Annelies Strba: Noonday

By Annelies Strba

The artist Annelies Strba, best known for photographs of her children, now brings us in Noonday pictures of her grandchildren. In this "noonday dream" (a reference to Emily Bront ), we encounter a host of fairytale creatures, playing, sleeping, or dreaming. The viewer is drawn in and becomes part of this reverie, which is interspersed with images of everyday family life, travel, and game-playing. While the images in the artist's previous series, "Shades of Time" (1997), were raw and direct, "Noonday" glows with the ease of a summer afternoon and yet still leaves us with the melancholy certainty that the days of childhood pass by much too fast.
