Obscure: The Female Body, Landscape, and Inherited Photographic Images
In this artist talk, Yalda Eskandari will discuss Obscure, a photographic project that traces the roots of our collective visual imagination surrounding the female body through the history of photography.
Working with a handmade pinhole camera and a large-format camera, Eskandari explores the relationship between the female body, the gaze, and photographic representation. Through long exposures and archival projections, she moves between the positions of subject and image-maker, questioning the historical power dynamics embedded in image-making.
Drawing on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century visual culture, Obscure examines how inherited representations of the female body continue to shape perception and challenges the idea of photography as a neutral medium.
