Najważniejsze kwestie

  • Carrie Mae Weems has carefully staged the photographs in this series to suggest moments of everyday life, but also uses symbolism, lighting and props to create deeper levels of meaning.
  • Weems suggests that the familiar, unremarkable domestic kitchen is actually important as an epicenter of family life and human drama.
  • Unlike in so much art through history, the everyday lived experience of a woman, as opposed to a man, is central here.
