Åsa Johannesson est une artiste suédoise qui travaille à la croisée de la photographie et de l’écriture. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, elle a en particulier exploré la relation complexe entre l’identité queer et la représentation photographique.

« Le projet “The Queering of Photography” (2015–2024) explore la relation complexe entre l’identité queer et la représentation photographique. Ce projet a été réalisé à l’aide d’un appareil photo à plaque grand format, en collaboration avec la communauté LGBTQ+ de Londres, dans des studios et lors d’une résidence artistique à la British School de Rome. »

« Ancrée dans la tradition du portrait de studio classique, ce travail se compose de photographies à la fois formelles et ludiques représentant des êtres humains, des statues romaines et des accessoires de studio. Le titre fait référence à cette dimension ludique qui devient une stratégie permettant d’explorer de nouvelles possibilités de “queering” en s’adaptant de manière critique à la pratique photographique. »

Political theory 101 and #unpacking science:

📍 "Science and academia try to give an impression of sociopolitical neutrality and acceptance of queer* identities.. As a queer scientist, I know it isn’t true."

📌 On #Tradition, #Queering Official Memory, and The #Creative Process

In 1962, James Baldwin wrote in the essay "The Creative Process"

"When a tradition has been evolved, whatever the tradition is, the people, in general, will suppose it to have existed from before the beginning of #time and will be most unwilling and indeed unable to conceive of any changes in it."
