SHE - "Not one and simple, so complex and many"

The title of the work is named after a phrase from the British poet Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves from 1931. Under the influence of this novel the artist play with identities and multi personality, as if a personality was split, its fate was declined by the colors , and its content of solitude was measured. With her photographs Schneppenheim brings in a clear, often cool-looking style.The artist view with an enormous tension between defiance and celebration of the female existance. Einat Schneppenheim: »Looking at pictures of women, as seen pulled back toward my eye, I see myself. I can’t help it. I parse their bodies, the forms. Not my own and yet familiar.« The photographs from the She series were made at an anonymous Hotel in Berlin. The series tells of the intimate and revealing meeting of a woman and a photographer in a hotel room. A fragile and sensitive relationship.
