My photographs expose my personal interpretation of the world’s current imbalance that I merge with touch of furtive autobiographical glimpse. Currently with the series ‘women are the key’ , I am exploring the prospect for women to rise at the side of men in the decision-making positions affecting the future of societies and cultures.
The nudity, euphemistically present but at the same time concealed within fabric or movement, is a reminder that sexuality is an essential part of gender issues, and that women sexuality is at the heart of many old misconceived fears and belief that should be discarded today in order to enable humanity to evolve.
The cut out in some of the images symbolise the missing information in our thinking process, either by convenience or ignorance, and encourage the viewer to go beyond the visual aesthetic of the image into it’s societal dimension.
BIO
Anne Vinogradoff was born in 1966 into a family of performers. She received two MA’s in environmental sciences before deciding that her future lay in a career as a dancer and choreographer. Anne soon developed a passion and fascination with photography and for 10 years she avidly photographed her friends in the performing world. Moving her photography practice to the next level she graduated with distinction from Central Saint Martins College of Art in 2010. Female performers expressing their femininity surrounded Anne all her life. It is no surprise then, that women are a recurring subject of her work with a clear interest in exploring the cultural construct of women’s status in society and the way it influences our actions and beliefs today. Through aesthetics and conceptualism, Anne explores the classic form of the western paradigm that creates the hierarchy - god, man, woman, nature.
