Inhaltsangabe

'In dieser Werkserie setze ich mich mit meinen Unsicherheiten in Bezug auf mein Körperbild und mit dem unmittelbaren Zusammenhang zwischen Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung auseinander. Mit dem Medium Fotografie erzähle ich meine Lebensgeschichte und sie dient mir als Ventil, meine Gedanken und Ansichten über unsere Gesellschaft mitzuteilen. Eine Gesellschaft, die Schönheitsideale nur über die äußere Erschei- nung festlegt. Mit meinen Bildern, die sich auf eine Betrachtung meiner persönlichen Geschichte konzentrieren, will ich allgemeine Fragen zu Schönheit, Sehnsucht, Körperbild und Identität aufwerfen.' Jen Davis Jen Davis (*1978) lebt und arbeitet in Brooklyn, New York. Elf Jahre hat sie an dieser Serie von Selbstporträts gearbeitet, die in nationalen und internationalen Medien (z.B. New York Times Lens Blog, Huffington Post, The Telegraph, Oprah.com) diskutiert und vielfach ausgestellt wurde, darunter im Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; Indianapolis Mu- seum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Center for Photography at Woodstock; Light Work Gallery, Syracuse; Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne; Galerie Priska Pasquer, Köln. Davis’ Arbeiten sind in zahlreichen öffent- lichen und privaten Sammlungen vertreten.
