Arno Nollen


Hin und her Posted by Hello

Nollen (1964) was a finalist at the NPS Culture Awards this year. He works in the grey area between film and photography. He films his photos or himself looking at his photos. The video shown in Wonderland has been especially made for Noorderlicht.

Nollen is passionate about, or obsessed with girls. He is fascinated by the young maturity of his models, their body language and facial expression. He meets them in the street, in bars and discos. The photographer is not interested in their person or story. In his work, Nollen shows girls from all angles, moving and still. "You never know what the girl's faces will show and everything shall change." Nollen crosses a line of decency, for he is voyeuristically observing the girls.
