Public Intimacies

Beskrivelse

Public Intimacies is a collection of analogue photographs and reflective essays by Pia Eikaas, created over ten years in various locations including Europe, Brazil, China, and the United States.

Exploring place, memory, and identity through a queer-feminist perspective.

This book takes you on a journey through diverse landscapes and urban environments, capturing traces and fragments that reveal the complex connections between place, memory, history, and the body. Pia Eikaas approaches her subjects with a queer-feminist lens, focusing on marginalized stories and unresolved pasts. Instead of grand narratives or monumental statements, the work emphasizes slowness, intimacy, and incompleteness.

In an era where images are rapidly produced and consumed, Eikaas uses analogue photography as a slower, more thoughtful practice. Using a medium-format camera, her photographs go beyond simple documentation-they become a reflective exploration of places and histories that remain open to uncertainty, longing, and imagination. The resulting images create a fragmented visual archive of moments that have existed or might have existed.

The book also features curatorial essays by Jeanne Gerrity and Jéssica Varrichio, adding further depth to the themes explored throughout.
