Notes:

Ferdschneider photographed the Vessel & Vegetable series between 1988 and 1989 in Ithaca, New York. Drawing on Victorian-era photography of women, where props were often employed to represent ideals of female purity, he reinterpreted this visual language by substituting fruits and vegetables as symbols of fecundity. Working with the contact sheets of his male models to replicate the exact same poses when photographing his female subjects, Ferdschneider used this process to examine and challenge the inherent gendered implications of the camera’s masculine gaze.

Nothing adverse to note.
