摄影师苏珊·菲尼克斯(Suzanne Phoenix)结束了她15年的妇女节展览系列, Photographer Suzanne Phoenix ends her 15-year Women’s Day exhibition series due to financial unsustainability, despite its national recognition.

摄影师苏珊·菲尼克斯(Suzanne Phoenix)在Yarra Valley展出第15届国际妇女节年度展览, Photographer Suzanne Phoenix is showcasing her 15th annual International Women’s Day exhibition in the Yarra Valley, featuring 23 black-and-white portraits of women and gender-diverse individuals, including musicians Janet English and Candice Lorrae. 菲尼克斯以其原始、毫不掩饰的风格著称，她引导被摄者表达激烈而非迎合期待，常常要求他们“看着我，就像你不喜欢我一样”。每幅肖像都配有个人陈述，该系列现共有200幅作品，已被维多利亚州立图书馆和澳大利亚国家图书馆等机构收藏。 Known for her raw, unfiltered style, Phoenix directs subjects to express fierceness rather than conform to expectations, often asking them to “look at me like you don’t like me.” Each portrait is accompanied by a personal statement, and the series, now totaling 200 images, has been acquired by institutions including State Library Victoria and the National Library of Australia. 菲尼克斯在她祖母的启发下开始摄影, 认为她的工作是真实文件的一种形式, 与澳大利亚国际妇女节的商业化和表演性质背道而驰。 Phoenix, who began photography inspired by her grandmother, views her work as a form of authentic documentation and a counter to the commercialized, performative nature of International Women’s Day in Australia. 尽管该项目意义重大,但她决定该项目不再具有财政可持续性,正在寻找工作,使系列项目的未来不确定。 Despite the project’s significance, she has decided it is no longer financially sustainable and is seeking employment, leaving the future of the series uncertain.
