Crystal Renn By Scott Schuman For Tank Magazine #15 As 'Crystal's World'
/
Tank Magazine’s Fall/Winter 2013 issue profiles Crystal Renn and her life in and around Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Styled by Victoria Cerciello and lensed by Scott Schuman, ‘Crystal’s World’ attempts to be edgy. TFS has published Renn’s entire interview.For flavor:
I believe there is a time to tell and a time to learn and I am most certainly in that learning phase right now. I have many ideas for fiction and I’m reeeeally into short stories. I wish I had the patience for painting but I don’t. And I’m amused by actors – I’ve been told I should do it but I don’t know if that’s my outlet. Beingan actor is all about truth-telling, being a model is all about being fake – but you can’t do either if you’re afraid of feeling stupid. It’s a real art and it would be offensive of me to not look at it as such. But if David Lynch or Terrence Malick came calling, sure!” Steven Klein’s “Strict Institution” shoot is the closest she has come to acting. “I was able to be a mental patient for 15 hours. Some of those shots were in-between shots, just walking to set – it was like method modelling! It’s almost like having a dissociative personality disorder. That’s the animal inside me that can just go ‘there’, and to allow that in a safe space where it’s appreciated is everything. That’s why Steven is such a genius, he allows people to go anywhere they need to go.”
