Corina Gertz THREADS OF LIFE
In the organizer's words:
As part of the 13th Darmstadt Days of Photography
The Kunstforum der TU Darmstadt is showing the internationally successful photographer Corina Gertz, who visually establishes a connection to diversity, inclusion and democracy as basic conditions for a "better life".
Corina Gertz photographs women in traditional dress all over the world. Her focus is on the quieter side of the portrait, the back view. The individual remains hidden, only the clothing carries information.
"The garments tell of past craftsmanship, origin, family and social status and thus also reveal something about the identity of the wearer, without placing her personal individuality in the foreground." -Corina Gertz
Magnificent fabrics and precious embroideries glow sculpturally and painterly against a deep black background, captured photographically in a clear and expressive image composition. The portraits tell of traditional knowledge, conventions, customs and practices. They reflect Gertz's interest in aesthetic, political, social and cultural contexts.
