Ekterina’s fascinating self-portraits from this series “Red Latex” (working title) captivate and subtly show a melancholy beauty that casts a spell over the viewer. We can hardly avoid her soulful photographs. She shows us how different feelings and emotions can be. Her photographs, in this beautiful ambience radiate a special kind of intimacy. Her work is subject to an independend and unmistakable visual aesthetic.

The reduced setting, the selected clothing and the “red” signal color used direct our focus specifically on the main motif without letting our gaze wander around uncontrollably. The color aesthetics in her photographs are perfectly coordinated and give the whole series a lovely touch. She uses a combination of red latex and sensual underwear to trigger targeted emotions. The result are photographs that show a fascinating symbiosis of feeling, femininity and sensuality on the one hand and subtle eroticism on the other, whose essence is more a suggestion than a concrete photographic representation of reality. The diffuse mood in the picture and the lack of concrete and clearly recognizable lines and facial features underline this effect of the “imprecise” in her pictures and allow our imagination as a viewer to run free.
