Beautifully bizarre, Valerija Kelava stars in ‘S-Sur/Real’ by Julia Hetta for Double Magazine No.26 F/W 2013.14. Taking the idea of free expression to the extreme, Hetta shoots a series of stylish non-sequiturs, meant to discover the divine line of distance that runs between the conscious and unconscious minds. Using the relationship between two juxtaposed realities, Fashion Editor) Hannes Hetta explores the inner-mind with an exciting array of imaginative shots meant to inspire new associations with unrelated objects. A masterpiece of modern Surrealism (Makeup Artist) Peter Philips creates one of the most impactful symbols of duality, with a simple drawing of Kelava’s features expertly mirrored on the side of her face. Through the innovative use of black & white photography this exquisite editorial creates the illusion of suspension, whereby, the poetic effect is that of navigating through a dream. By letting go of all control the creative unconscious allows for the incongruous elements to forge a powerful connection, making for a hauntingly vivid visual experience.  Source (fashioncopious.com).
