I had been following Kim's Instagram for quite a while and always liked her slightly chaotic feed a lot. I had contacted her mid 2019 for the first time and also asked about the prospect of a shooting with her. We exchanged a few friendly lines but she never really answered my request for taking photos together.
Then in February I unexpectedly received a message from Kim. She had completely overlooked my text about the photoshoot and apologised sincerely. She said she really liked my photos and would love to work with me.
< insert pandemic here >
We finally met on the 14th of September. I parked my car in front of the terraced house at Kim's address. I grabbed my camera bag – just in case – and walked up to the front door. *rrrrrrng*
It didn't take long before Kim opened the door. I had already expected a flamboyant personality, nonetheless it took me a second to take it all in: Dark red lipstick, piercings, bright aquamarine coloured fringe with colourful dreads hanging over her left shoulder and a sidecut on the other side. She wore a kind of hoody that was so short it showed her pale flat belly. Around her hips she sported a black frilly tutu. I was greeted happily.
Kim led me to her flat. I instantly noticed that her Instagram wasn't the only thing in her life that was slightly chaotic. I took off my shoes in the hallway, dropped them on a heap together with the other shoes and started collecting dog hair with my socks while following Kim to her living room.

Mit seinen aktuellen Arbeiten ist der Fotograf Christian Nowak dieses Jahr wieder mit von der Partie. Er zeigt unter anderem die Aktportrait-Serie „Schwimmen im Fluss”, die über einen Zeitraum von zwölf Monaten an der Elbe entstand.

Akustisch wird der Samstag ab 18 Uhr von „Tabea und Band” begleitet, die selbstgemachte und geklaute musikalische Perlen aus dem Wendland im Gepäck haben.
Wie im vergangenen Jahr sorgen die LandFrauen Thomasburg an beiden Ausstellungstagen für das leibliche Wohl und informieren über die Aktivitäten ihres Vereines.
