Gaspar’s love of theatre can be seen in the dramatic play of light and colour within this series of photographs – as do the suggested narratives and constructed tableaux. Movement becomes a dance; stillness becomes deafening.

Ambiguity though, is perhaps the key to the success of these photographs.
Identity is masked, clouded or beyond the frame.

Annabelle Gaspar’s photography explores the shadowy zones between muscularity and fragility, male and female, the known and the unknown.

These photographs resonate because they do not offer up their secrets easily.

They call for multiple viewings and are open to multiple interpretations, which render them ripe for contemplation, reflection and immersion.
