She may have been named one of the 5 People on Etsy Who Are Clearly Serial Killers by Cracked.com, but Canadian photographer Pamela Klaffkes Bestia Parvalus (Animal Child) series of children in masks doesnt give everyone the heebies. (And if it does, just embrace the goose bumps, its almost Halloween.)
Shot with lo-fi plastic Holga cameras on expired and damaged film, her world evokes childhood nostalgia, dark fairy tales, whimsy, mischief and mystery. Who are these masked creatures?
As part of the annual Capture Photography Festival, selected works from Klaffkes Bestia photo series will be exhibited at Vancouvers Foot of Main Gallery (119 Main) from Oct. 3 to Oct. 31. An opening reception with the artist in attendance will be held Thursday from 7 to 9pm.
