I need to start thinking of a idea for my foundation FMP, i had a few ideas in mind from the evolution of hair styles over the past century to the relationship and identity of between my sister and I. However this idea about gender identity/expression is one that im most curious about, i dont know alot about people who class themselves as male/female or just express them selves as male/female. This is something i will have to go out and explore, early days though, idea is not set in stone. Here is an photographer that has done a similar project before:
Emily Besa and Bernd Ott
Writer Emily Besa and photographer Bernd Ott have been traveling across five cities (Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Los Angeles and New York City) for their photography project ‘All The People’. This project involves meeting various individuals residing in these cities to discover how they define and convey their own gender identity. Besa explained “A lot of projects we found tend to focus on one aspect of being non-binary or non-conforming and we were particularly interested in relating the infinite possibilities of gender expression and identity. From the beginning we wanted to avoid any kind of labeling or categorization.”.The duo take a collaborative approach toward the project by letting interviewees choose the location in which they are photographed and how they portray themselves.
Here are some photos from their project:
