“Following the history of representation” is a photographic project that consists in a series of 15 large format portraits. The project is part of the body of work made by the artist in Halabja, the city of Iraqui Kurdistan bombed by Sadam Hussein in 1988, and where the artist has been visiting and teaching from 2008 to 2010.
“Following the history of representation” challenges the artist as well as her camera presence within the depicted context.
Setting a postcolonial point of view, the work questions our glance and the classical canons of feminity shown by colonial pictures.
