Lisbeth Bang
Everyday Choices
Man and woman, male and female, sexuality and gender-identity; is it not just a cultural façade? Are we alike when looking behind ‘the performance’?
Bang’s camera works in her studio with a self-timer. She challenges the concepts of ‘natural’ ways of being for either sex using herself in all roles with the tools of body language, facial expression and gendered outfits to convey those questions in her self-portraits.
