Untitled (record player) Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Chrissy Lush is captivated by the fleeting moments that offer glimpses into the depths of the subconscious. In her self-portraits, she utilizes performance to evoke intangible emotions. Her images blurs the lines between what is real and constructed, striking a delicate balance between surrealism and reality. Working alone, she creates staged scenes where she is both behind and in front of the camera. In her series "Hold Me Tight," the artist skillfully portrays the illusion of interaction by appearing twice within the frame, deftly bringing to life a playful scene where one bursts the other's bubble. Despite the seemingly spontaneous play, she single-handedly crafts each moment. Chrissy Lush aims to provoke a sense of wonder and curiosity in the viewer. She wants to encourage them to look beyond the surface of the image and to consider the deeper meaning and symbolism within the scene.
