Description
Girl on Girl explores how women are using photography, the internet, and the female gaze to examine self-image and female identity in contemporary art. A new generation of women is making a significant impact on the art world, both online and offline. This book showcases 40 artists who are redefining the fields of fashion, art, advertising, and photojournalism through their work, which often features women as subjects. These artists are using photography and the female gaze to challenge and redefine our visual world. Each is accompanied by a short profile based on personal interviews with the author, providing a fascinating insight into their creative processes and motivations. The result is a powerful and thought-provoking collection that introduces readers to a new generation of female artists making a lasting impact on the art world. Featuring the work of artists such as Aneta Bartos, Tonje Bøe, and Pixy Liao, among others, Girl on Girl offers a unique perspective on the role of women in contemporary art.
