Petra Jaenicke
The 4th Photography Competition Exhibition
February 23 - March 1, 2023
Reception: Thursday, February 23, 2023, 6-8 PM
InquirePetra Jaenicke is a German photographer and artist, whose digital collages offer an insightful interpretation of reality as we commonly view and accept it. At Agora Gallery Jaenicke presents a piece from her Stay Loose series inspired by German artist Joseph Beuys. There she challenges the conventional way we perceive and objectify women, in a society dominated by patriarchal norms. “My works are an expression of my struggle for a feminine identity, which also nourishes the potential for social change,” Jaenicke explains. “Joseph Beuys wanted to heal the world with art. Hope and healing are, especially today in our different times of change, most urgently needed.”
