“There is Kirsten, Becca, Paris and I laying on our stomachs face down on the rugby field, in between two female dorms, in a conspicuous circle with our chins perked up. It was an early summer afternoon, not yet too hot but warm enough for us to enjoy the outside. If we were to hum something in Latin and hold our hands, our fingers interlocked, one might have thought we are incarnating one of the dead Charmed sisters.”
— Words by Marie Nova, August is My Favourite Colour
“ ‘August is My Favourite Colour’ by Marie Nova is a personal odyssey, an almost random diary of her everyday routine during the summer. Nova’s film photography and candid style still show us the world from her distinctive and refreshing perspective. When we look at these photographs, we feel and perceive the suspension of time. ”

“The August series on film emphasize summer in warm, excitable moments which attempt to move the viewer to a joyful parallel world.These moments are braided with childhood longing and flirtatious accents on the body that is free and aches for the nomad lifestyle.With all the atrocities in the world, these series seek quiet, peaceful celebration of life where life is still allowed.”
