Deborah Paauwe’s images are enigmatic, sensual, erotic, and very loaded. Every frame is composed and constructed in tight asymmetrical close-up. The framing itself is controlled, directed and precisely articulate in application. In this shoot the female character(s) are carefully presented, almost symbolically, in a manner that’s stylistically confronting, as partial bodies. Seductive, self-consciously aware, and still, very still, posed, these characters assert a distinctive presence, a performative presence, a fiction.
Nicholas Tsoutas (catalogue essay)
