Der er heller ikke meget far, mor og børn over fotoudstillingen Berliner Fleisch, som Warehouse9 for nylig viste. Fotografen Johanna Jackie Baier har igennem et par år indfanget livet blandt transseksuelle prostituerede i bordellerne og på gaden i Berlin. Hun betegner loyalt sig selv som »one of the girls«, for hun er ligesom sine modeller transseksuel og arbejdede også selv en periode på bordel. Den intime indsigt i denne verden langt, langt fra IKEA-livet rammer rent i hendes portrætter, og billederne kunne dårligt have været vist et mere oplagt sted i København end her et skridt fra Skelbækgade og Victoriagade, hvor gadeprostitutionen efter 10 års eksil i andre områder er vendt benhårdt tilbage. Hendes billeder fanger ikke bare det helt tvetydige køn og den særegne skønhed hos mange transer, men også den uforklarlige blanding af styrke og skrøbelighed, glamour og trash. Først og fremmest udstråler alle disse væsner værdighed, noget som langtfra altid gør sig gældende i tidens nyfigne dokumentarisme, som kan nærme sig det pornografiske. Mange af de transseksuelle har faktisk været så glade for billederne, at de i dag bruger dem som reklame. En interessant drejning for kunsten. (Heidi Laura, in: weekendavisen, 2007)

“The portrait project is about migration and mobility. J. Jackie Baier August 2009 |
| What is the portrait project ? The Portrait Project is a collaboration between warehouse9 and photo artist J. Jackie Baier supported by the danish Arts Council DIVA program
The project emerges from Warehouse9′s involvement with the queer community, the local environment Vesterbro in Copenhagen and the international arts scene. For several years Jackie Baier has portrayed transsexuals, sex workers and personalities from the queer sexual underground, which was also show at a solo exhibition in Warehouse9 in Fall 2007. Through the DIVA residency program it is now possible for Jackie to work “on location” in Copenhagen for a period of 3 month in the fall and winter 2009. “As a professional transsexual artist I feel related to this environment and the artistic challenge for me is to give images and faces back to the people they belong to. All these people come with faces. I see their beauty and I want to help them to get their right for a visual representation free from the taboos of the middle class society and free from sensational journalism and “art photography”. In the warehouse there will be set up a photo studio, where people are invited to come and have their portraits made. The deal is that the model gets a copy and the wall gets a copy. In the end of this ongoing process we will have made a lot of portraits given to the individual models which will have their own destiny and stories to tell depending on where they go to. There will also be an exhibition and hopefully a book with stories, portraits and statements that show the exiting & beautiful faces of migration & mobility.
|
| What will be the result
The result is a series of portraits that will be given to the involved models as well as an exhibition and a hopefully book about the project. |
