Outside You \/ Inside Me <\/em>exhibits the portraits made by Susanne Junker in La T\u00e9rmica as part of ID-Identity, an artistic project through which women and men, from all over the world and of all ages, put on makeup before a camera without seeing each other. Faced with a blind lens, person and mask, actor, and character, explore their strangeness. Started in 2006, ID-Identity brings together people from all over the world with a transgressive aim: to create an archive of portraits positioned in relation to the prefabricated ideals of the beauty, advertising, and fashion industry. The first portrayed person was the artist herself, because, as a sought-after model in the nineties, Junker began a series of self-portraits through which she became a subject and author at the same time.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Thus, in the same wake of Lee Miller, the surrealist model turned photographer recently exhibited in La T\u00e9rmica, Junker also preferred to be a photographer than a model, although she is still both. The intense self-observation she practiced since she was a child plus her experience as a mannequin, led her to use her own body as a canvas to question social and gender issues. Junker used her media exposure not only to break the prejudices that surround modelling from a feminist perspective, but also to interrogate the social construction of our mask and the aesthetic and identity ideals that constitute it.<\/p>\n\n Reflecting on our identity through the mask acquired a greater relevance, if possible, in the pandemic \u2018new normality\u2019, since video communications added an unexpected dimension to the way in which we re\/present ourselves. The zoom look<\/em> implies blurring the line between public and private space, as well as a transfer between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’. In this context, INSIDE YOU \/ OUTSIDE ME <\/em>not only proposed a re-vision of identity as a social blueprint, but it also makes us realize that we can accept it and make it our own or not.<\/p><\/p>\n\n The exhibition portraits were shot by Susanne Junker as part of the series of talks La moda del arte <\/em>(The Fashion of Art), which has been taking place at the Carmen Thyssen museum since 2017. The cycle, directed by Patr\u00edcia Soley-Beltran for M\u00e1laga de Moda and La T\u00e9rmica, explores the boundaries between contemporary arts and fashion from a humanist perspective. Soley-Beltran, curator of this exhibition, holds a PhD in Sociology of the Body from the University of Edinburgh; she is the author of several books and numerous academic and popularising papers, she has been awarded the Anagrama Essay Prize for her book \u00a1Divinas! Models, power and lies<\/em> (Anagrama 2015) and the Mar\u00eda Luz Morales Prize for gender journalism, among others.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Outside You \/ Inside Me exhibits the portraits made by Susanne Junker in La T\u00e9rmica as part of ID-Identity, an artistic project through which women and men, from all over the world and of all ages, put on makeup before a camera without seeing each other. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
