The Woman in a Photograph: Lived Corporeality of the Finnish painter Ellen Thesleff

The Woman in a Photograph: Lived Corporeality of the Finnish painter Ellen Thesleff

In my presentation at the NORDIK Art Historical Conference Saturday 27.10.2018 in Copenhagen I’m focusing in the photographs of the Finnish painter Ellen Thesleff (1869-1954). In these photographs I’m interested in the corporeality of the past, the human body and its existence: its movements and flesh.
