Women X Women

The White House Gallery, Nir Oz

Curated by Haim Perry

Giuliana Mariniello (Italy), Claire Joubert (France), Malka Inbal (Israel), Susana Girón (Spain), Lucia Ganieva (Russia), Rania Akel (Israel)

During the rencontres de la Photographie of Arles in 2008, Giuliana Mariniello, Claire Joubert, Malka Inbal, Susana Giron and Lucia Ganieva decided to meet in an exhibition around a common theme : Women for Women. Five women photographers from Europe (Italy, France Spain, Russia) and from Israel decided to invite Rania Akel, a Palestinian artist, to share this space of discussion and exchange through images around the contemporary feminities.

Giuliana Mariniello (City Icons) is interested in the image of women in the city, through advertising. « Giuliana Mariniello transcribes what she sees, what the public doesn't see anymore, and gives it a particular direction by the collision of images and commercials. » Charles-Henri Favrod
Claire Joubert shows for this exhibition the serie Mrs Brown Monday or Tuesday extracted from her photographic diary Chaque, conducted since 2006. In this extract, she pays attention to the thin link between intimate and political by looking, in the public place, for the tiny expressions of the feminine.

Malka Inbal's images (Mirrors) work as a mirror dealing with the border between the private and the collective, intimacy and "extimacy", through the prism of the femininity.

Susana Giron (Legacies) observes through her lens, gestures, elderly women's attitudes, in a small village of Spain. Through her eyes, it is especially the story of a generation of women that she shares with us and, within it, the transmission to those that will follow.
Lucia Ganieva (Factories) focused her attention on women working in the textile industry in Russia. Her images between documentary, staged photography and an aesthetic research underline a transgenerational portrayal of women counting among the last one to work in this activity inclined to a future disappearance.

Through the work that she presents in this exhibition, Rania Akel uses the shadow as a metaphor of freedom. A shadow cannot be trampled, nor captured. In her images a dry ground is overhung by a woman playing with the shadow of someone else...
