Translating the Body
When
Sat, 5 October 2024 - Sat, 4 January 2025.
Description
Translating the Body raises questions about ‘art photography’ and the female body, and the power dynamic between art photographer and model.
Overturning the conventionally submissive role of the model, the works in this exhibition are curated by the model, and in some cases produced by her from archived photo-shoots handed over by the artists.
The works demonstrate six translations of one female body originating from photographic modelling sessions carried out with artists Ann Evans, Ashwin Vyas, Michael Kilyon, Lois Brothwell and Phil Moody, and sessions with sculptor Judith Glynn.
