Fashion utställningen ja, var där o kikade nyligen vilket resulterade i en egen liten reflektion över den, tyvärr på engelska men de flesta kan ju det språket...

Fotografiska (the new flashy and fancy temple of photography in Stockholm) was a big disappointment, there was an exhibition called “fashion” there, a history of fashion photography from the 30s up until now, containing many big names such as Avedon, Penn, Man Ray(strange they put him there though..) the problem with the exhibition as I see it was how it was curated – 90% images of women if not more. It seems to the visitor(at least me) that the image of men in fashion is either swept aside or forgotten.. An other interesting point in this issue is that the women presented in the images were given names, the men names and titles. As if the womens titles weren´t important at all? Or maybe they are just seen as objects. Of course this is the situation in fashion photography/commercial photography but it was almost ironic to present the works like this. Also the few images of men, were of course taken by women to the large part. It almost seems as if there was a little homophobic undertone in the curating process of the exhibition. I had expected more, much more from this new museum (fotografiska) so I was really disappointed by what I saw. Maybe images of men in fashion would have been too provoking to the public(??), so the large part of images of men were of course of men either dressed as women, hoborockers or other extremes. Women were presented as posing for the camera, very few were doing something, women were mostly looking into the camera. Men were presented as doing something, often looking away from the camera. Dependant – independant? Anyway I think that this show could have been more interesting if the curating would have been different. Alternatively the show/exhibition could have been called by a more fitting name: Objectified…
