Winner Foam Paul Huf Award 2017 Romain Mader’s work explores themes of gender-representation, loneliness and romance by creating fictional narratives within his images. In Ekaterin a Romain travels to the imaginary city of EKATERINA and documents his search for a girlfriend, clumsily posing with mail-order brides and passing through a series of fictional towns meeting numerous “Ekaterinas” until he finally finds his bride. Explaining his reasoning for making himself the protagonist Romain Mader’s says: 'It's too easy to mock people. It's better to pose myself and be the main character in my work. This way, there's irony and vulnerability. MÖREL Book, London Limited Edition of 750 204 Pages 15.5 X 21 cm Show more
