Image from pinterest.com<\/p>\n<p>London based Sri Lankan author and curator Charlotte Jansen is chronicling issues of femininity and identity in her new publication that explores\u00a0the work of 40 female photographers from 17 different countries.<br \/>\nFrom the book\u2019s title to its content, \u201cGirl on Girl: Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze\u201d re-appropriates the idea of the male gaze. By focusing primarily on women photographing other women or those using self-portraiture, Jansen is giving a platform to female artists \u2013 allowing them the opportunity to take control of the way in which they are represented and assisting in the shift of the \u201cmen&#8217;s world\u201d mentality in art and life in general. As activist and featured photographer, Zanele Muholi puts it, this photo book is about \u201cclaiming the spaces, taking back power, owning our voices and ourselves and our bodies, without fear of being judged\u201d.<br \/>\nFrom the photographers who use modern day social media, to those who look at stories in history to put forward their messages and from female activists to the artists who explicitly do not relate to the idea of feminism in order to illustrate their ideas \u2013 these women are united in their dedication to women\u2019s emancipation and liberation and their contribution to the advancement of the female gaze through the medium of photography.<br \/>\nHere are five of our favourites:<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/itsnicethat.jpg\" alt=\"Monika Mogi.

As a result, this young photographer\u2019s work has a sense of the traditional Japanese street photography \u2013 her black and white series \u201cShion\u201d especially reminiscent of the images Daido Moriyama took around his hometown. Naming this project after her mother\u2019s all-girl high school rock band, Mogi focuses on her personal transition from girlhood to adulthood, and uses her friends to reenact pinnacle moments during this time. A confessional self-analysis of her teenage years, this project centres exclusively on female feeling and experience, mixing classic Japanese style with a personal feminine perspective.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/selfpublishbehappy.jpg\" alt=\"Maisie Cousins.

Macro shots of stretch-marked flesh, sweaty faces and body hair aim to empower women through depicting beauty in non-industry standard figures and forms \u2013 with over saturated colouring complimenting the magnified textures. Uninterested in making stereotypically \u201cnice\u201d photographs, Cousins concentrates on what has become know as the body\u2019s flaws, normalising imperfection and highlighting what many see as disgusting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Afro-Art-Media.co_.ke_.jpg\" alt=\"Zanele Muholi.

Although South Africa was among the first in the world to abolish discrimination based on sexual orientation, there is still a certain stigma attached to those who fall into the homosexual or transgender category, and an active and brutal \u201ccuring\u201d ritual is still practiced. The idea of lesbianism as particularly \u201cun-African\u201d is very much alive in the culture, so much of Muholi\u2019s work centres around portraits of gay women. \u201cThe portraits are at once a visual statement and an archive,\u201d the artist has said, \u201cmarking, mapping, and preserving an often invisible community for posterity.\u201d Giving a face and a name to the women who have had to fight hard for their individuality, Muholi\u2019s intimate series celebrates the identity of those many still chastise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/we-heart.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Yaeli Gabriely.

Playing off the idea that images presented to us from these genres are simply illusions, the photographer uses digital cameras to shoot multiple frames and then merges fragments of different images to produce one final image. The characters in her photographs, therefore, \u201care a wild combination of different body parts: a head from one frame is joined to a leg and a hand from another, a body posture of one to a gaze of another\u201d. Using her body as a site for manipulation also comes in the form of Cindy Sherman-type disguises \u2013 Gabriely uses make-up and costume to create a fake ideology and underline the issues behind false depictions in a business that she sees as superficial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/lustik.tumblr.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Izumi Miyazaki.

Embracing her youthfulness using baguettes, bananas and bunny ears, Miyazaki uses herself as her main prop to photograph a dream world. Her perplexing visual diary portrays a less serious side to discovering identity and transitioning into adulthood, and could also be seen as poking fun at societal vanity. The young woman, unlike many depicted on television and in magazines isn\u2019t rushing to grow up; she isn\u2019t afraid to present herself in satirical set-ups or look silly.<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Girl on Girl:\u00a0Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze&#8221; by Charlotte Jansen is available for purchase at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurenceking.com\/us\/girl-on-girl-art-and-photography-in-the-ages-of-the-female-gaze\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">laurenceking.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author and curator Charlotte Jansen explores the female gaze in her new book &#8216;Girl on Girl&#8217;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51826,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[5317,7455,8668,8669,7635,8670,6520,154,8671,8672],"class_list":["post-51818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-charlotte-jansen","tag-female-gaze","tag-girl-on-girl-art-and-photography-in-the-age-of-the-female-gaze","tag-izumi-miyazaki","tag-maisie-cousins","tag-monika-mogi","tag-photobook","tag-photography","tag-yaeli-gabriely","tag-zanele-muholi"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The New Book Documenting Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Author and curator Charlotte Jansen explores the female gaze in her new book &#039;Girl on Girl: Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze&#039;.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/charlotte-jansen-girl-on-girl-art-photography-age-of-the-female-gaze\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The New Book Documenting Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Author and curator Charlotte Jansen explores the female gaze in her new book &#039;Girl on Girl: Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze&#039;.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/charlotte-jansen-girl-on-girl-art-photography-age-of-the-female-gaze\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-05-18T13:18:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
