Persona

The three are seen playing a number of different roles in a variety of staged situations. Although Kaa’s images often border on the surreal, they are also anchored in real-life. Together these images show various stages of life development, and suggest that our former identities are never really lost to us. Costumes, props, settings and composition and the photographic style have a symbolic value. Some images are highly staged and performative, looking like Renaissance paintings, while others have a more spontaneous and natural quality. Kaa works as a freelance photographer in Berlin.
