"Today is the longest day. I fly over frozen lakes to a country that does not exist. Below me vast plains, mountains, black sea. They glide past me slowly, like a map. Meandering glacial rivers flow from rugged summits. Empty seashores, cumulus clouds. Bering Strait.
A Japanese girl is asleep next to me. Her face framed in glossy black hair and turned slightly towards me as if she had just wanted to tell me something. The eyebrows are arches of innocence. Eyes closed, lips slightly parted. Her pale skin seems translucent. She is as still as water on an overcast day. Only her hand twitches, in a dream." (© Karianne BUENO, 2011)
Other books by Kariane BUENO are:
'Asper',
'Hairo',
'Doug's Cabin' (2019)
About the photographer, Karianne Bueno (b. 1979): Karianne BUENO lives and works in Amsterdam (NL).
She graduated from the HKU University of the Arts, Utrecht (NL) and has a Masters degree in photography from the AKV|St.Joost, Breda (NL). She exhibited at a.o. New York Photo Festival, New York (US), Kunstverein Leverkusen (GE), Unseen Photo Fair (for LhGWR), Amsterdam (NL)
In her work and photo books, Karianne BUENO explores utopian places that are unaffected by the human urge for makeability.
She delves into new sceneries looking for her long ago washed-out memories, dreams, book snippets and movie scenes that were concealed by her everydayness. A story gets woven whilst photographing these fragments.
Her projects in Belgium and Japan resulted in the photo books 'Asper' and 'Haiiro' in which her excellence as an editor and storyteller stands out.
