Hark, Hark, the dogs do bark

Dear Friends,

Lots of things have been going on and that is one of the reasons why I have been so quiet.:

- A couple of weeks ago I shot a video for the Spanish fashion designer Viveka Goyanes and since then I have been immersed in the land of post production. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of August and it will be screened in a world premiere at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in early September. Here is a film still:

- I have had one of my birthday pictures used for a book cover in the US:

- And tomorrow I’m off to London once again. This time I will be working as a Director of Photography in Rupert Rand‘s latest short film. I’m all packed and ready to go and I’m really excited to be working on his project.

And last but not least, I’m thinking so much about photography. I have been thinking a lot about my process of work and I can’t wait to execute some new projects that I’m concocting!

I hope you all have a nice Summer.

Jennifer

Even though there’s still a lot of work to do until you can see the end result.

I always have these really intense nightmares, they are vivid, colourful and rich in detail so it is hard to distinguish them from reality. Last month I dreamt that I was walking in a wood and I found my own skull hidden between some trees. In my dream I decided to pick it up, put a bow on it so it would look pretty and take it for a walk.

Here are some pictures of the exhibition and of the opening night, thanks to every one who came by!

It will be at the Espacio Infame until the 17th of July, so if you didn’t make it to the opening you still have a chance to see it!

I have a little new diary here.

I have been taking mobile phone pictures for ages and I had been posting them on a private page for friends but  because this blog is so formal, I have now decided to make it public on tumblr and I’ll update it regularly!

Next week I will be opening my first solo exhibition in Spain and it will be taking place in Barcelona at the Espacio Infame.

The opening will take place on Wednesday the 23rd from 20:00 p.m. onwards.

Please come by if you are around and say hi as I will be there with more than 50 photographs, an installation and some new work!

Ps. Here’s the invite with more info.

Dear Friends,

I have some news and I thought I would make a post about them:

• I have overhauled DearJennifer.org. Not only is there a new layout but I have changed the navigation system, the way the series & galleries were set out and there are new pictures that I had never posted anywhere before. If you find any bugs please let me know, it took me forever to code everything!
• I also decided to put clips of all of my films on the website and, more importantly, I decided to upload my mid-length documentary in its entirety. I completed ‘A film about Home’ in 2008 and because of film festivals exclusives and my personal attachment to the film I was reluctant to put it online. But now two years have gone by and you can watch it HERE. It is a 40 minute film so, press the full screen button and kick your shoes off.
• I have changed the layout of this blog. I believe it is now much nicer and easier to navigate!
• After all this ‘office’ work I am super antsy and I’m off to take two new series tomorrow for my upcoming exhibition in Barcelona (23rd of June!) & will be filming a new short film on the first week of July. I also have lots of new projects in mind that I want to work on but those are secret for now.

And I hate text only posts, so here is a picture of my new ‘friend’ and I.

Have a nice weekend!

There were many things I wanted to say about this last year but in the end I decided to keep all of them to myself.

( You can see the entire birthday project at dearjennifer.org )

New pictures coming soon!

After so much work and battling we managed to open the exhibition and it was great.

I want to thank every one who took the time to come, it was great chatting to people but, I must admit, what was especially great was to see a big chunk of all the work I have done in these last 5 years in one room and see it come together gracefully and coherently, just the way it was meant to be viewed.

Here are some pictures of the exhibition and of the opening night:

It will be open for another week, so if you didn’t make it to the opening night you still have a chance to see it. And now, I’m planning to take some new series for the Barcelona exhibition!
