"Women devoured by the light, human shapes floating in darkness, strangely
obsessing faceless portraits... Lynn Sk’s photographic universe is haunted by
violent - yet poetic - visions, somewhere between polychromatism and film noir. With
these pictures - self portraits or model sessions - Lynn successfully achieves
giving shape to the apparitions that roam in her daydreams..."
Text by Jeanne Saint Julien, translation by VV.

_____________________________________________________
Maybe I’m more fragile than you. But I’ll always be prouder. I like self destructive people in movies only- I’ve been poisoned enough. I like nice people. But I prefer heroes - filled with secrets and scars. I like partying, drinking, and being out of my mind ; but I think there’s more to life than having fun. I want to fight. I want to work hard for what I desire. I don’t want things to come to me, I want to take them. I don’t want to be in need of anything, I just want to desire. I don’t believe in ideas, I prefer feelings. I just follow my intuition. I’d rather put some brains in my imagination than a little imagination in my brain.
I like to travel. I like to wake up in another city or country and see him asleep next to me. I like when our life is like a movie – even if most of the time it looks like a sitcom. He’s a nice boy. I’m a nice girl. He hates speaking to people in the street - I like it. We don’t care what you think about us.
I have mostly funny stories to tell, rather than sad ones. Maybe because I’m really dumb when I’m drunk. I don’t like taking things too seriously, but I’m so dramatic. I like people, but I avoid the weirdness of human connections. I like girls, I like beauty. I like shooting girls. I like girls who write, who draw, who shoot movies and pictures – I like heroines. But I like only one boy. Indeed, I’m in love, and his cooking is cool too.
I don’t understand people who try to give a unique sense to everything. I’ve found so many and I’ll find more, again. I’m creating my own form. You know, something like “light”.
“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.” Anais Nin.
