Part tribute, part conceptual photography, part exploration of
costume and set design, Wonderland is an ongoing series of portraits by
UK photographer
Kirsty Mitchell. After the loss of her mother in 2008,
Mitchell found herself in need of a creative outlet to grapple with the
emptiness that often follows the death of a loved one. To fill the
vacuum, Mitchell began to revisit fragments of fairy tales her mother
would share with her as a child and decided to use them as a starting
point for a series of elaborate portraits that would make use of her
background in fashion design and costume making. The resulting images
would form a storybook without words, a sort of visual narrative that
people might project their own stories onto.
Everything
you see in Mitchell’s photos from the costumes to the sets have been
sewn, painted, glued, and assembled completely by hand, requiring up to
five months of preparation.
