BODY CONFIGURATIONS | Work in Progress
Titled after VALIE EXPORT's seminal series, my photographs are in direct dialogue with EXPORT’s original feminist experiments in which she contorted herself into the urban landscape making a strong statement about male-dominated space and gender inequality. Nearly forty years later, I continue the work that EXPORT began using my own indigenous body to examine the power structures of the urban environment. I am concerned with the tension between the physicality of my own body and the political, historical, and psychological forces embedded into the architecture of a city. These 16 photographs shot in Venice, Italy in 2023 (printed 2024) make up the first portfolio of an ongoing series to be continued across multiple cities.
