Direct gaze, subject conscious of what’s happening and has a commanding posture, taking charge of their own image “Subjects choosing their own outfits and hairdos, showing constructed images that tell about the places but also the individual personalities.” Dijkstra, Kolobrzeg, Poland, July 26, 1992 - One of a series of full-length portraits of teenagers on various beaches from different countries - Posing her young subjects before a luminous background of sand, sea, and sky, she imbues the portraits with an elemental, almost mythic quality that seems to transcend the carefully observed particulars of national identity and class. - She holds her body in a curved pose that recalls the depiction of Venus emerging from the sea in the famous renaissance painting, The Birth of Venus (1485-6, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence) by Sandro Botticelli (1446-1510). - Shot from a low angle against a darkening sky, the girl appears simultaneously large and small-monumental yet vulnerable, half exposed, half grown, halfway between innocence and experience. With its perfectly modulated blend of clarity and ambiguity, the photograph is a stunning depiction of Venus at the awkward age. Zhang Huan, Foam Series, 1998 - - Although well known for his range of artistic practices, many of Zhang's works are in fact composites. "Foam" drives this approach further by actively deceiving the viewer. What looks like the documentation of a performance was in fact especially staged for the series of photos. Zhang holds on to his method of captivating his audience through a sense of discomfort. The foam on his face is open to a range of unpleasant inferences while the photos of his family in his mouth could be interpreted as devouring his history, just as the soap may be washing away his past There is an old Chinese idiom that every family goes through sadness and happiness, separation and reunion. When I would look at these yellowed photographs of my childhood and of the older people in my family, I would always ask myself, 'Why was I born into this family? Is it true that my fate had already been determined five hundred years ago?' Life is like a dream. It is transient. Just like foam, it sparkles and dies out in less than a second. I love this family and I hate this family. I wanted to eat them. I wanted to eat myself."
