Paula Rae Gibson: diary of a love addict

The processing of personal experiences stands in the center of Paula Rae Gibson’s photographic oeuvre. Along with the photographs, often retroactively treated with chemicals and sometimes collaged, the artist records prose and verse: poetic fragments that attempt to reproduce the language of the photographic image. Diary of a love addict is a radically subjective journey of intimacy and grief.

Paula Rae Gibson, *1968 in London, began taking photographs as an autodidact following a tragic car accident. Her work has been shown internationally. She has recently begun working on films and songs as well. Her first solo album, No More Tiptoes, is scheduled for release in fall 2007. Milan Chlumsky was born in 1946 and works as a scientist of german literature and photo-historian.
