Mobile Photography & Art Instagram Showcase – 27 September 2020

Double Life a book-length photographic project by Kelli Connell has kept me entranced this week. At first, the viewer will imagine that the images are of shared moments in the life of two women, who possibly appear to be a couple. Then as each page is turned, we begin to realise that it’s not two women, it’s one, the same woman and the mystery begins. The images are documentary style and not dissimilar to the autobiographical work of Nan Goldin, albeit without the edgy undertones. Connell describes this project as “intimate moments experienced personally, witnessed in public, or watched on television“. This body of work is regarded as self-portraiture but what is remarkable and what kept me so mesmerized is that, it is self-portraiture but she does not personally appear in any of the final images, she uses a model “to stand in for myself“, she explains. Not two, only one model but thereby creating double possibilities, multiple personalities, if you will. It’s thoroughly intriguing, if you’re interested, you can view the book here.
