The Claude Cahun and Clare Rae exhibition was very inspiring. It clearly demonstrated how the work of Cahun had inspired the work of Rae. Each photographer had their own room with their photos hung up on the walls, with the sizes of the photos ranging. Both Rae and Cahun take their images in similar styles, with most the images being in black and white, with the main focus being portraiture.

This is my favorite Claude Cahun image. It shows a women sitting down, wearing a shirts saying “I am in training, don’t kiss me”. This shows how Cahun might be trying to pass a message saying that as she is a female that she has to train herself to live up to the expectations of society. Cahun could also be trying to get her personality across by wearing the clothes that she has on.

This is my favorite Clare Rae image. It shows a women cramming herself under a trolley in what looks like a office. Rae might have done this to show that women might feel trapped in today’s society, so she portrayed this by putting herself under a trolley in a small corridor. Rae also might have taken this photo to express previous experience she might have had.
