C Magazine 9: International Photo Magazine

The ninth edition of C International Photo Magazine explores the role of women in photography. There is no ‘photography made by women’ that can be stylistically distinguished from ‘photography made by men’. But even as photography cannot be defined by gender, women are a timeless and recurring motif and their role and representation are the subject of much debate. The work of nearly thirty artists in this issue, both in front of and behind the camera, and independently of their varying perceptions and approaches to this medium, help us redefine the representation of women in the past, present, and future.
