"Marta Jovanovic’s bodies in representation are free in many ways. They are free from conventions, canons of beauty, gender roles stereotypes, and fashion dictates. Hers is a difficult task: to liberate her models from impossibly rigorous standards of both classical dance and fashion (and fashion-y) photography. Marta starts from a democratic, all-inclusive stance: everybody deserves to be represented. Marta’s subjects never seem treated exploitatively. Rather, these representations have a goal of subject’s, and, consequently, viewer’s empowerment. There is certain camaraderie between the artist, her subjects, and her viewers. It is the artist who invites us all not to care about expectations and standards of excellence, but to enjoy ourselves in performance – by posing as ballerinas in tutus, and also.
Marta focuses on the genre of portraiture and the concept beauty in contemporary photography." Jovana Stokic
Photo shoot is taking place on July 08. 2010 at 19h (if you are participating, please come at least one hour in advance) at the premises of the Bosi Artes Gallery in Rome, Vicolo del Babuino 9 (few steps from Piazza del Popolo).
