Photographer May Parlar
punctuates open landscapes
with colorful elements like masses of
balloons and accessories separated from human wearers. Her work reflects
on themes of belonging and alienation, Parlar
seeks to “explore the human condition through a feminist perspective.”
To build her fanciful scenes, Parlar explains that she layers frames to build composite images rather than manipulating the content.
“I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance
art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art;
and all of which gets
merged in the end and put together
with a glue that for me is the
camera”.
The artist first was first drawn to photography and filmmaking during her architecture and design schooling in the U.K. Parlar describes herself as a global nomad and is currently based in Berlin. See more of her imaginative images on Instagram, and purchase limited edition prints on Saatchi Art.
