If there’s anything I
would reccomend you it
will be either to watch
the documentary which
is made about her or to
immediately stand up and
go see this exhibition. Her
photos show a diversity
of

and consists of a large
number of self-portraits.
With themes such as
gender, representation,
sexuality and body she was
way adead of her time.
