Being in the Moment of Woman

“A theoretically undergirded critique of the patriarchal conventions of viewing as formulated in the works of many artists in the feminist avantgarde of the 1970s is far from her mind. Instead, she creates her very own individual and empathetic-personal view of the respective model. In this regard, her photographs are an act of self-empowerment on the part of model and artist: in several pictures, a cautious approach and encircling of a unique and individual personality. Nevertheless, her photographs touch on central themes of the visual representation of femininity, such as the relationship between woman and nature, the motifs of mask and masquerade, injury, fragmentation of bodies and the play between revealing and concealing, showing and hiding.”
