Never standing on two feet

Published to coincide with the exhibition ‘Entre Nous: Claude Cahun and Clare Rae’ at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Clare Rae’s first book presents the Melbourne artist’s monochrome photographs created during a 2017 residency on the island of Jersey, near the coast of France. Rae pays homage to avant-garde artist Claude Cahun (1894-1954) who had lived there, drawing upon Cahun’s photographic archive to explore the female body, selfhood, ritual and the fe/male gaze in cultural and geographical landscapes.
