Discover: "No Hands" by Marion Gomez

This Friday, May 10, marks the final hours of the "No Hands" exhibition by Marion Gomez at the Sheriff Gallery. At just 22 years old, this young photographer and artistic director delivers a captivating vision through her work. A final-year student in artistic direction at Penninghen, she merges her passion for still life with her interest in fashion photography, offering unique perspectives on subjects such as representation, cultural heritage, and color symbolism. Without showing any hands, the photographs immortalize everyday gestures through familiar objects. Inspired by the German "New Objectivity", Gomez questions the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary, revealing the hidden beauty of mundane objects. The highlight: the exhibition is accompanied by a namesake book available for purchase, inviting viewers to dive even deeper into this enigmatic visual universe.
