The exhibition focused on the different ways that the Australian photographer  Clare Rae, who now lives in jersey,  has responded  to the works of the french photographer Claude Cahun who takes picture to explore the different views of identity and gender through self portraits. Through the the comparison of both artists you could see the the influence that Claude Cahun had on Clare Rae, this was evident at the exhibition, they both did there photos in black and white and and contrasting colors, you could see the similarities of both photographers.

Clare Rae:

In this picture you can see the artist Clare Rae is under this trolley, this could symbolize that she is feeling trapped and scared this tells us that she was trying to explore feminine and how woman feel about them selves. In the picture it looks like she is in an office basement where they keep all the files from years ago, also suggested by her body language it can tell you that she is feeling distressed about where she is. The picture has been done in Black and white which could mean that she is trying to erase the thought or is trying to tell us something.

Claude Cahun:

In this photo you can see Claude Cahun  is in the center with a mask which is black and white with a white background. I feel that she is trying to express her feeling on feminine and how other woman or men feel about this photo. I also think it explores the different ideology of how men perceive woman in to day world. In the photo Claude has a straight face this could symbolize the fact she is doesn’t agree that men should treat woman disrespectfully. This photo could also symbolize they way she feels about her body and how she copes with her feelings.

Personally I think that the expedition showed the contrast between the two different photographers and how they response to each others work, and how similar their objectives are, the expedition also showed the different views about being a feminism and how different people have different viewpoints about these artists. I can also express the need to encourage talking about feminine people and not letting themselves down.
