We partnered up one-woman photographic storyteller Juno Calypso with\u00a0Bruno Ceschel, founder of Self Publish, Be Happy.<\/p>\n

\"The_Honeymoon_Suite_2015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last summer, Juno Calypso was trekking through rural Pennsylvania to visit a 1960s honeymoon resort, the scenery for her latest staging.\u00a0Juno poses as her own imagined muse, Joyce, a\u00a0broken and frustrated\u00a0housewife, her sensuous effigy arising from a pink heart shaped hot-tub. The images, like film-stills rather than portraits,\u00a0suck you into a Lynchian dream-world of\u00a0old-school Hollywood glamour – with a hint of dystopia, just\u00a0to throw you off when you think everything might be alright.<\/p>\n

Juno is an almighty\u00a0one-girl show, having never used the help of an assistant during the set up of her work;\u00a0camera, lighting, costume and all. Usually, photo shoots that hire a different member of staff to take each task, such as meticulously styling hair, body-painting or\u00a0manning the equipment are hard enough work to orchestrate, so we can’t begin to imagine how Juno handles all of this and executes her images so perfectly.\u00a0“An assistant could be helpful, but I start shoots at 9 in the evening” she tells us,\u00a0“I end at 5am. I couldn\u2019t put someone through that!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight, Juno will be discussing her\u00a0Joyce<\/i> collection\u00a0with publisher Bruno Ceschel, founder of Self Publish, Be Happy, an organisation\u00a0which supports the work of emerging photographers, and who will be hosting a series of talks and workshops down at The Photographer’s Gallery in Soho this month.<\/p>\n

\"10003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you naturally a very feminine person, is the Joyce character an exploration of your own?<\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m naturally feminine, but I\u2019ve always been very drawn to artificial femininity and it\u2019s become a part of the way I present myself. The character is definitely an exploration of my own desires. I like to use her to take my interests and exaggerate them. To explore clich\u00e9 fantasies like weddings and honeymoons. It\u2019s an excuse to dress up and become someone else, while finding out more about myself.<\/p>\n

Why do you think the feminine sexuality is just so alluring? It’s a well-addressed topic but far from banal!<\/b><\/p>\n

I think it never gets boring because with every generation, women are treated as if we just invented our sexuality, as if we had no desire till that day. We have to re-establish and justify it every time and deal with new ways society wants to police our bodies. While heterosexual guys have been waving their dicks around since the beginning of time with no question.<\/p>\n

For me, it\u2019s alluring because of it\u2019s layers. That superficial layer of artificial femininity is just so good to look at. Hairless flesh, sugary make up, eyelashes like spiders. It\u2019s body enhancement and adornment taken to a hyper real state. So you get drawn to it visually, but then as a woman I find myself being pulled into the layer underneath. Who is she? What\u2019s she thinking about? Is she having a good time? I like the cracks that expose the performance. Crusty eyelash glue and fake tan stains. The feeling that everything is being delicately held together, ready to fall apart. I like my images to pin point that breakdown.<\/p>\n

Do you have any assistants, or do you execute your self portraits completely alone?<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just me alone every time. I\u2019ve never had an assistant. People have offered, and it would probably help, but I can\u2019t explain how bored they would be. I start shoots at 9 in the evening with no plan, and then end at 5am still not really knowing what I\u2019m doing, then repeat the process for another 4 nights. I couldn\u2019t put someone through that.<\/p>\n

What is the best\/weirdest\/funkiest location you’ve ever hired out and where?<\/b><\/p>\n

I reckon the honeymoon hotel in America was the best. None of the decor had changed since it opened in the 1960s. The guy who founded it was the inventor of the heart shaped hot tub, and every room had mirrors on the ceiling. I\u2019ve never been anywhere like that before. I love feeling like I\u2019ve entered a time warp and the hotel did exactly that. I have had some other weird experiences, like this one Airbnb I rented in Malta that turned out to be a part time brothel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can catch the discussion between Juno Calypso and Bruno Ceschel from 4pm – 5pm (GMT), today,\u00a0Wednesday 25th November in the SPBH residency space at The Photographers’ Gallery.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
