Dancing with Shadows, an international online photo exhibition by Jenny Chernansky opens on September 01 and will continue for two months until October 31, 2023.
Jenny Chernansky uses new media paired with classical techniques to explore contemporary issues surrounding perceptions of female roles and femininity. Concepts of the shadow self, feminine archetypes, and the virgin/whore dichotomy are often addressed. Jenny’s practice explores themes relating to historic depictions of female figures from religion and mythology which have embodied negative societal archetypes in an attempt to rewrite the narrative from a more empathetic viewpoint which seeks to confront and unify the split in perception.
