Sophie Thun (b. 1985 in Frankfurt/Main; lives and works in Vienna) works with techniques of analog photography and draws on the tradition of female self-portrayal in art history with references that reach back to the 16th century. Thun uses her body as an instrument to question established concepts of society, sex, and gender.
Her self-portrait Ufer, 17-27.02.2019 – 13-14.11.2022, CWLJMK is part of the ongoing series After Hours, in which Sophie Thun photographs herself in hotel rooms while traveling for commercial photo jobs. She thus draws attention to relations of economic dependency and hierarchical structures in the contemporary art industry. In this image, Thun’s expression alternates between vulnerability and determination. Alongside the nude artist, it also shows her camera, the apparatus with which Thun captures and situates herself and her role as an artist in today’s art system.
