The artist brings together photographs from several different series that explore the imaginary of the 1970s. Some images simulate candid photographs from that period, including photographs of young soccer fans. Others take the form of theatrical mises-en-scène in which her models perform. Although mischievous and playful, the photographs are rigorously constructed and are based on her extensive theoretical and visual research. Observing fashion, and in particular its ability to depict the sociocultural conditions and to express individuality, the artist examines questions of identity, society and history through the prism of the culture of clothing. The artist is particularly fond of the 1970s thanks to their transitional character. This period was marked by a change in values and lifestyles: modern society and its cult of authenticity gave way to a postmodernism based on reproduction and simulacra.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
