With the most creepiest of holidays nigh a week away, I feel it is my duty to get us all in the right proper mood. I’ve been saving this artist just for this season.
Sarah Wilmer is a New-York based photographer with the eye for the beautiful, strange spooky and surreal. Her work seems to exist in this separate reality, containing a somewhat gothic-meets-seventies vibe that I find all too appealing.
I find some her most interesting work is her band photography work. Wilmer chooses to shoot bands in unique environments, that border on disturbing and a rarefied environments such as underwater, floating in the air, or performing cabalistic passes in strange environs.
In all her work, there is a mystical, fantastic element that is both breathtaking and unsettling. They are works that move you far with simple gestures, that question that space between the real and strange, lingering somewhere in between that shows the viewer just how that place is but a heartbeat, a gesture, away.
