Rebecca: Monika @_mulb is an instagrammer I have followed for as long as I can remember in my time on Instagram. Her gallery is full of raw and honest emotion mixed in dark mystery. We’ve connected over lost love, depression and sleeplessness. My friendship with @_mulb is a testimony to how mobilephotography crosses borders, language and space. Spend some time in her gallery. I promise you will not leave empty handed. She is a gift.
Monika: There is this moment and this specific mood, when I know that I have to take a pic. The following process to finish it can take hours or maybe weeks. I know from the first moment, that I will use it, some day.
I’m taking photos since many years, I’ve the diploma of a photo school and I spent days, weeks, months in my dark room. I always wanted to show more than a pic. I needed a story. Mobile art is the perfect way for me to take and edit my pics and to tell stories with them. photography is my most important instrument, but sometimes, when I’ve time, I prefer videos (you can see some on mulb.tumblr.com).
One year ago I went to a cemetery, where I was never before. I didn’t know why, but I had the feeling that I have to go there. I took this pic. 2 months later my dad died and he was buried there. I guess it was a hunch. the headless people and the watering cans are now a part of my life.
