PRIVATE MOMENTS: A glimpse behind the curtains
LUBA
In this intimate anthology of rich, vivacious photographs we are invited into the private world of photographer Petter Hegre and his wife Luba, this visual feast revealing her every mood and gesture until we feel that we know her inner self through the innocence and perfection of her naked self, every minute portion of soft skin and every downy golden hair so lovingly captured.
IT IS ODD, TOO, because now we know Luba through some two hundred exquisitely reproduced photographs shot playfully at the beach in vivid summer colours, at home on a sofa, in the garden,
in bed, there is something that remains forever undisclosed: a secret they share, and by keeping us guessing we are impelled to return to look again.
There is humour, too: Luba fondling a green apple before eating it, Luba jumping for joy, and jumping so high we catch a saucy peek of underwear below her mini-skirt. We see her shaving her intimate parts through the shower spray, combing her hair, dressing and undressing, Luba sleeping, reflective, and keeping in form lifting weights. Hegre plays with light, mood, setting and styling to bring us Luba in her mundane as well as magical moments, yet it is his tireless, energetic style that enriches the erotic essence of his subject and draws us into his fantasy.
