Description

I dwell in Impossibility is a collaborative suite of photographs by Susan Hensel &  her son John Hensel.

I dwell in the creative impossible, choosing to depict the transgression of gender role interacting with age; to create a poetic representation of both diminishment and power, neither male nor female, impossibly pregnant…liminal in all possible ways.  Neither one nor the other, neither yin nor yang.

When collaborating, Susan sets the parameters of costume and objects to be manipulated and then allows the collaborator to direct the action.  Drawing on extensive study of African masquerade culture, she allows the objects and costumes to inhabit her will, allowing her aged, broken body to dance free in the spirit of the costume.
