Description

Ness Rubey is a conceptual photographer from Austria, who frequently wears flashy socks. In a striking and colorful way, she reveals both the beauty and dissonances of our surroundings and society. Her work often gives an eye-opening approach on topics such as feminism, violence, meat consumption, loneliness or self love. At the same time, Ness doesn’t spare her humorous and quirky view on everyday life.

The big picture is her medium of choice.
With her highly aesthetic images, Ness aims to make people look twice and reflect -also outside of art galleries. Therefore, she regularly showcases her photos on public billboards and other unexpected locations.

Contradictions are an important element of Ness Rubey’s imagery: Boldness as well as fragility describe her compelling way of storytelling. The human body, bespoke and everyday objects, in addition to immaculate lighting and minimal retouching are important ingredients of her visual language.
