Andra Postolache
Under Scrutiny
My practice is informed by the female experience, exploring female subjectivity and embodiment through photography, by fragmenting the image. My primary research is centred around interviewing women, listening to the insights of their lived experience. This investigation analyses how women are seen, treated, and understood in a broader context, allowing an introspective look into womanhood. I have chosen to capture the body movement of the women, while we were talking, when I felt that emotion drove conversations/ confessions. The dynamic of the interview style was changed to fit the comfort of the interviewee: (e.g. siting still on a chair versus lying on the floor; keeping a persistent gaze versus breaking the gaze- both with my own, and the camera’s.
