Mother Nature

curator Simone Azzoni

an outdoor exhibition

Mother Nature is an ode to photographs that show females flourishing. It's curious that a man often takes photographs of his wife in front of beautiful flowers or in nature. As if a woman needs to stand there. Or maybe she deserves it. The photographs were collected from family albums. Mother Nature is a testament to a once universal appeal to document and display the mundane. Often a repository for family history, that usually represents a manufactured family as edited for display.
