- Anne-Sophie Guillet is a young photographer born in Oxford and a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, where she lives. Her work was noticed by the jury “Propositions d’artistes 2013” of Contretype. About Inner Self, she says: “In our society there are very specific expectations relating to the dichotomy of genders, which however does not constitute a grid of exclusive reading. I try to call into question this assumption by making portraits of men and women whose identity slips outside of the norm. I thus try to show that there are different manners of living one’s human condition.” - Lavender Wolf was born in Los Angeles and graduated from the Art Center College of Design. He lives in Berlin where for the last five years he has been working with papercuts. "When Worst Comes To Worst My People Come First (Part I)" is a fantasy narrative that explores the objectification and the subjection of the "Black Body" throughout history in the US. Using the same material used to record history and current events, Lavender Wolf relates both the public and the personal. For over a year he has been reconstructing heroic, contemporary mythologies, interjecting the 'Black Body' into alien and culturally foreign territory. The papercuts used interrupt established canons of history, mythology, contemporary and pop culture, projecting 'Black Bodies' into positions and spaces that they have occupied but in which they have seldom been represented. - Willeke Duijvekam is a documentary photographer. Her projects are often long-term, allowing the development of a bond between the photographer and her subject. She has previously won several prizes, and has been published in various Dutch and foreign magazines. Mandy and Eva are girls, even though they were born as boys. For six years the documentary photographer Willeke Duijvekam followed them, through the struggles that they had to undergo so early in their lives to outwardly become the girls that they already were inwardly.
