About Annett Reimer Manhem
Artist statement
Reimer’s main practice explores the relationship between body, femininity and domesticity. Throughout her work she is making use of her own female body as both the subject and the object of her imagery. In a performative way she is using personal locations where the normality is constantly challenged through playful interactions with the space. The work addresses the relationship between body, place and memory; the body is often surreally fractured behind everyday furniture’s in interiors or in landscape scenes, challenging the power of the photographic gaze.
