Group show: A Female Gaze
2. June - 12. June
Festival Pass
What is a distinctly female gaze? Does it even exist?
With the exhibition A Female Gaze, a group of female photographers in Norway explore concepts of masculinity, the male, and the feminine perspective. Some have examined their own and their subject’s vulnerability, others have conceptualized the dynamic between observer and observed and the tension therein. The exhibition also touches upon themes such as identity, desire, intimacy, gender roles, and family.
The central question focuses upon the existence of a specific female gaze. Does it even exist? If so, what does it entail? What shapes and influences it, culturally, personally, and socially? Artists include Andrea Gamst, Erika Hebbert, Elen Sonja Klouman, Erle Kyllingmark, Margaret M de Lange, Julie Pike, Tine Poppe, Pernille Sandberg, Line Ørnes Søndergaard, Charlotte Wiig and Rebecca Zeller.
A Female Gaze is a group project conceived and led by photographer Charlotte Wiig, who in addition to ten female photographers, make up the collective. The group is composed of both established and newer names and represents a broad spectrum of visual expressions and approaches.
The group project has been exhibited at Oslo Negativ photo festival, Nordic Light Festival of Photography in Kristiansund, as well as Shoot Gallery in Oslo.
