The photograph "Bride" was taken in the Salar de Uyuni. With around 10,000 km2 it is the largest salt desert in the world. The artist presents herself in a blood-red wedding dress, the color spreads out in the water, a seemingly endless, surreal landscape. "Bride" deals with the myth of marriage in all its dichotomies - from a festive ceremony to an economic act, from fertility to transience. The red-colored dress expresses existential aspects of femininity and corporeality, creation and fertility, guilt, and suffering. A high percentage of marriages worldwide are still associated with physical violence. The artist, however, is less of a victim than protagonist.
