Befangen

Sonja Trabandt's project BEFANGEN deals with the personal desire of breaking free from social norms, cultural or social barriers or even evolutionary processes. Strong colors meet surrealistic abstracted metaphors of vague human feelings. There is no stringent storyline, no continuous series. The book's layout shows a flow of subsequent and interwoven images. They create bright disharmonies with neither a question nor an answer. With her intuitive imagery Trabandt invites the viewer into her slightly melancholic wonderland, depicting her very personal idea of freedom.
