This exhibition displays mainly portrait works produced in 2009 and 2010 together with new photos. The series “neither portrait nor landscape” consisting of 6 photos was taken inside a museum so that viewers gradually perceive that the exhibitions and/or people are on a black screen. On the contrary, the series of “outer portraits” on a white screen capture people walking on steps in a museum. Viewers can recognize “something” photographed in a frame at first glance but cannot understand what it is at the moment. Her works therefore require viewers to concentrate, looking at the works in question.
