In the Mood for Love
In the Mood for Love 2018
35mm film, C-Prints
This was Vera’s first color photo project. It was made during her second year at Bard College, when she gave up the Mamiya medium format film camera she was given, and picked up a 35mm point and shoot. The casualness of the point and shoot gave Vera the freedom to take photos both aggressively and impulsively, which resulted this vibrant and reckless group of pictures, just like being young and being in love.
One of the pictures was taken in one of cinema on campus screened the Wong Kar Wai film “In the Mood for Love” (2000) , which gave this project’sname.
