It was very difficult for me to choose a theme from her projects portfolio. Her “Femmes d’ interior” series focuses on the interpretation of women’s role in society through a deconstructive and symbolical manner. As the artist notes: “In this series of pictures on “Femmes d’intérieur”, I want to play with the codes, to re-arrange them, giving a cushion or a chair or a pair of shoes the same attention as the subject. It’s my way of depersonalizing the woman, of turning her into (perhaps what she always was): the object, the woman-object. Upending things in effect poses the question: what is the social status of a woman? The reference to “great classics” of painting is a good way to illustrate how a woman is corseted by her rank and the social position of her husband or her own family. The idea of painting “in the style of”, copying the classics, is a way of making each photograph unqiue. It’s an additional way of personifying each of these women, of giving them back their difference and their originality.”
Elene Usdin is no doubt one of the most inspiring artists I’ve recently discovered. Her portfolio is rich in concept, technique and most importantly creativity & imagination!
