  • Little Framed Tragedies: The Art of Larissa Kulik

    08.10.10

    Each one of Larissa Kulik’s dark and whimsical photomanipulations is framed in a way that tells a story in that single, frozen image. Strings and ropes are a recurring motif, suggesting bondage and the threads of fate. These snapshots-of-dark-fairy-tales, filled with symbolic objects, are unique in the way they’re composed, and often the boundaries of the picture itself are pointed out and lovingly inscribed and decorated, so that each work is a lushly melancholy story-rich image framing itself. Her framed stories are instantly recognizable.
