Bordeaux Series

Riassunto

In a remote landscape near Bordeaux, Mona Kuhn owns a little house: simple, bare and even without electricity. Kuhn
travels here each year to entertain family and friends as they drop by. Bordeaux Series contains portraits of these
people dear to Kuhn made over the last four years, as well as landscape photographs. Kuhn photographs her subjects
in the same room with a red fabric backdrop and a chair, so that the nudity of each sitter is the only indication of his
or her idiosyncrasies. A sequel to Kuhn’s Native (2009), Bordeaux Series is a sensual exploration of the contemporary
nude.
Mona Kuhn was born in Brazil in 1969, is of German descent and now lives in Los Angeles. She received her BA from
Ohio State University before studying at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1996 and at the Getty Research Institute
in Los Angeles in 1999. Steidl has published Kuhn’s Photographs (2004), Evidence (2007) and Native (2009).
