ANJA NIEMI / THE WOMAN WHO NEVER EXISTED
|
| |
 Anja Niemi. Last Act, 2016
|
The Woman Who Never Existed was inspired by the words of the pioneering Italian actress Eleonora Duse. Eleonora worked the international theatre stage alongside Sara Bernhardt in the early 20th century. In contrast to Bernhardt's outgoing personality, Duse was introverted and private, rarely giving interviews. She once famously told a pushy New York journalist, that ‘away from the stage I do not exist.’
Niemi takes on the role of a fictional character visualized after reading Eleonora’s words. The Woman Who Never Existed tells the story of an actress who only exists in front of an audience, when no one is looking she starts to disappear.
Similarly, Niemi works alone, photographing, staging, and acting out the characters in all of her photographs.
The Woman Who Never Existed premiered at Photofairs San Francisco (27-29 January 2017), it will open at Shoot Gallery in Oslo (9 March - 30 April), Photo 12 Galerie in Paris (16 March - 22 April); and The Little Black Gallery in London (25 April - 27 May)
