Connie Imboden

Despite advancements in technology, most of our models for understanding psychological processes lie in metaphors. For Baltimore-based photographer Connie Imboden the most compelling of these metaphors is Carl Jung's evocation of mirrors and water to illustrate psychological processes and the close association we have between our body image and our self-identity.

Connie Imboden’s photographs are psychological conundrums based in a visual language of Jungian process and mythology. Imboden uses the reflective and refractive properties of mirrors or water to create her photographs. By doing this, she challenges the traditional, objective language that is often credited to photography. This process of reconstructing the body allows her to visually explore the powerful and haunting psychological properties of metaphors used by Jung.
