“She has
consistently,
and by necessity,
been concerned
with the limits
of the self-image
and the implication
of others in her
practice...”
Born:
1982,
Washington, D.C.
Based:
New York.
The exhibition:
Is Chetrit's third
in Düsseldorf, and
presents two rooms
of staged photographs
taken over a 23 year
span as a contiguous
body — portraits
captured by Chetrit
as a teenager of her
friends, all aged
12-15 from 1994-
1997, and three
new self-portraits
shot in 2017.
“Like her previous
shows, this work
sits inside the
unbounded
intersections of
staging & discovery,
of human bodies,
objects and meaning,
which naturally
emerge when
photography is
considered an act
of performance.”
2-TIMES' highlights:
· Murder Picture #5, 1997/2017
· Self-portrait (all fours), 2017
