Martina Bjorn - Without - Self-published 2025
Printed matter, without motive.
Without is a collection of photographs half fashion, half something else. It explores female emancipation, enigma, and transformation. Using visual ambiguity as a mode of resistance, it stages women, objects, and landscapes in shifting contexts exploring the instability of identity, and the boundaries between body as object and subject.
Pages filled with chunky lashes, Tokyo skyscrapers, legs until forever, a suit tailored to perfection, exaggerated poses, bare skin and burning plastic. Forest fire remains, a lizard, nylon stockings, water drops, breasts, white T-shirts, ancient pyramids, rawness and fragile beauty, — all brought together by pure desire.
Without resists conclusions. Without judgment. Without motive. Shaped by the female gaze, it contains serious intentions disguised in fantasy.
