© The Richard Avedon Foundation | | | | | | Structures of Identity examines how photographers have used portraiture to affirm or challenge social stereotypes constructed around notions of race, gender, class, and nationality. The exhibition highlights how subjectivity and social identity have been shaped and regarded within the history of the photographic medium. Iconic works by photographers including August Sander, Richard Avedon and J.D. Ojeikere are combined with the work of contemporary photographers like Yto Barrada, Samuel Fosso, Zanele Muholi and Guy Tillim. Works of vernacular photography, from a range of cultures and historical periods, are also on view.

A sense of continual exploration of national identity typifies the body of work of Cypriot photographer Stelios Kallinikou (1985), who creates magical and beautiful images that are deeply rooted in the Cypriot landscape. The landscape, as a result of our collective action, becomes a vehicle for his thoughts on place, history, time and space – all fundamental issues related to human nature. | | | | | | | | | | Rock Formation 3, 2017 © Stelios Kallinikou | | | | | | Previously Kallinikou‘s work has been described as 'local poetry'. He is not interested in narrating a linear story. His aim is to conjure a space that is beyond words. Simultaneously his appealing and technically skilled body of work circles around the politics of the landscape. By adopting the strategies of documentary photography via an introspective meditative pace, the world he constructs serves as a speculative scenario through which he can better envisage his relationship to territorial and ideological notions of the landscape such as birthplace, motherland and national identity.
