Corina Gertz photographs women from around the world wearing
traditional national dress. Her focus is on the quieter side of the
portrait - the figure seen from behind. The individual remains
hidden, so that information is conveyed only by the clothing.
Splendid fabrics with sumptuous embroidery shine with sculptural
and painterly intensity against a deep black background, captured
in a clear, expressive composition. Her portraits tell tales of
traditional wisdom, conventions, customs, and practices, reflecting
Gertz’s interest in the aesthetic, political, social, and
cultural context. Text in English and German.
