IN/VISIBILITY
The first non-binary self-portraits were realised as part of my master’s thesis in photography, and the photoshoots are still ongoing as part of my dissertation in gender studies.
If you’d like to have more information on the research project and would like to participate in the photoshoots (in Finland), please contact me via email

Here ‘non-binary’ is used as an umbrella term for anyone who does not self-evidently identify according to the binary gender norm as a man or a woman.
The project has been supported by Finnfoto ry, the Art Promotion Center Finland, The Olga and Vilho Linnamo Foundation and The Finnish Cultural Foundation.
This is a soft and gentle rebellion. Illegibility can be a form of resistance, failure a superpower.

What is needed for queer visibility? I believe non-objectifying gaze is key. Readability should not be compulsory.
These are self-portraits of non-binary people. This was a collaborative practice where the participants had control over their self-representation. They made and chose these portraits for this series.
