The Word Magazine / 03/02/2012
Featured on the Word Magazine’s website ‘Just the two of us’, with a brief interview.
‘What started out as a shared hobby between a mother and her daughter has grown into something a bit more slick. Photographers Marilène Coolens (58) and Lisa De Boeck (27) now work under the moniker Memymom and have scored a number of exhibitions in Belgium, Germany and even Slovakia. At times haunting and always captivating, their intriguing images possess an atmosphere reminiscent of dark fairytales. “We want to expose the dark sides of life – but with lots of colours”, is how Lisa puts it. (Sarah Schug, The Word Magazine)’

Preview of upcoming Work / 04/12/2011
Underneath a preview of two of our upcoming series
‘Nunsense‘ (The imaginary life of two cloistered nuns)
The series Nunsense unconventionally places two cloistered nuns into a brightly coloured 1950s atmosphere and clothing. The scenes explore what we do in a possibly hypocritical environment when we’re not seen.
En attendant ‘En Attendant’ (a Photographic prequel to Samuel Beckett’s play ‘Waiting for Godot’)
Characters Vladimir and Estragon are represented in a cloudy beach within a suspended atmosphere. As Memymom say, ‘The work floats on a sensuous surface.’ (Margherita Dessanay, Elephant Magazine, featured on Frameweb)
