5 Images for Autumn

Burnt Orange Leaves & Surreal Self Portraits |    It's now officially Autumn: time for the nights to draw in, leaves to turn brown and temperatures to feel cooler. Today, to usher in the new season, we're sharing images from the archives.     Zhong Lin   Zhong Lin is a Malaysian Chinese photographer whose works are categorised by strong and surprising visuals. Lin wraps faces with dried-out leaves, paints Kusama-like dots on the body and fills bathtubs with milky water. Throughout the months of lockdown, Lin embarked on a new project, posting an image every day on Instagram.   Learn more » Thomas Jordan   Thomas Jordan is a self-taught photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. These images provide a glimpse of the Midwest at twilight – warm, rural and isolated. Lilacs blend into burnt oranges and inky blues, the days closing into one another endlessly. These landscapes teeter, always, between light and shadow.   Learn more » Carola Cappellari   In Carola Cappellari’s works, shadows and sunlight melt into one another, drawing attention to the passing of time and the movements from summer to autumn. Self portraits and bodies are obscured amongst turtleneck sweaters, woodlands and abandoned houses.    Learn more » Benoit Paillé   “Instead of taking photos of a beautiful landscape, I will choose the pole time and again.” The “pole” – in Paillé’s methodology – is a placeholder for any banal object, from fences and hedges to street lamps, which he transforms through a phantasmic colour scheme. Bright, stark flashes render the landscape surreal.   Learn more » Fares Micue   Crescent moons, bending branches, manicured garlands and grouped balloons: these are the objects that characterise the colourful self-portraits of self-taught Spanish photographer Fares Micue. The images are dreamlike, hopeful, and, at times, surreal – the artist’s facial features obscured entirely by blooming flowers and paper cranes.   Learn more »
