{"product_id":"positions","title":"Positions","description":"Multimedia artist K8 Hardy uses photography in her Position Series (2007–12) to\nexplore identity as performance and construction. Hardy used herself, her\nsister, and mannequins, styled in eclectic clothes, wigs, and makeup, to suggest\npersonas outside normative categorisations of identity and gender expression, in\ntension with the ordinary domestic or urban spaces in which they are pictured.\nIn the darkroom, Hardy superimposed bows, glasses, bras, and the spectral\noutlines of bodies over these portraits: analogue interventions that expose the\nphotograph as a deliberate construction rather than fixed truth. Positions\npresents all fifty photographs from the cult series plus additional unseen\nimages, cataloguing Hardy’s pathbreaking body of work in the context of the DIY\nfashion, art, and thrift scenes in queer subcultures of early 2000s New York.\nHere self-objectification serves as a powerful riposte to the objectification of\nthe female body in life and in art and to exclusionary art institutions,\nqueering the conventions of the portraiture genre in an iconic act of rebellion.","brand":"ART AND PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67657391472949,"sku":"9781917651752","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/13ac7109-2be1-495b-8995-1a43ba681657.jpg?v=1791467707","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/en\/products\/positions","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
