"There She Goes" is a visual dialogue between two photographers, Kerryn ‘Kiki’ Salter and Beatrice Morel, which explores the constant movement and fluidity in female expressions. Beyond showing how photography can help to convey emotions without words, process complex feelings, and deliver a visible sense of relief, the idea of the exhibition, as framed by curator Lydia Chan, is to subvert systemic dismissal of female emotions.
This curated conversation between the two artists is also a dialogue between the artists and the viewers. It is a visual experience of perceptual events where fleeting emotions can be intimated as enduring or tangible; it is an encounter that informs viewers about the artists’ thoughts and feelings which can be palpably perceived and internalised.
"There She Goes" aims to evoke discussions on the feminine perspective and to highlight, while subjective, the universal quality in the experiences that women go through - in terms of biological processes, societal stigmas, cultural repressions, and overbearing stereotypes.
Both artists use the camera as a paintbrush and as a means of emotional processuality - but with very different results: For Beatrice Morel, this involves capturing the power and immediacy of raw, unedited emotions at a given moment; and for Kiki Salter, a chance to reframe, reorder or invent a controlled external image that calms an inner turmoil.
"There She Goes" will be held at the Lower Gallery of Objectifs - Centre for Photography and Film, from the 28th of September to the 10th of October 2021.
