She Disappeared into Complete Silence (signed)
“It’s collaborative… because my best work starts when people forget that they’re naked. So for that to happen, we need to know each other. I am reluctant to photograph people and spaces I don’t know,”-Mona Kuhn
She Disappeared into Complete Silence which was published by Steidl in 2019. Jacintha, a long-time friend, and a collaborator appears in the reflective glass house designed by the American architect Robert Stone. Fully nude her figure gently morphs into the surroundings of geometric elements of the architecture and simultaneously incorporates the vastness of the Joshua Tree National Park. Under the juxtaposition of the softness of the body against the angles of the exterior, an intriguing series is formed. The sunlight, reflections, and bits of metal foil create a moment of calmness and fluidity captured delicately by Kuhn.
