Women's Bodies Go Uncensored

Stiff poses meant to elicit desire or project docility crowd magazine stands, but portraits like Iiu Susiraja’s ― a series of selfies of the artist, wielding cold hot dogs like middle fingers and cradling a loaf of bread like a child ― are harder to come by. Susiraja’s photos are among a recently published collection edited by writer and editor Charlotte Jansen, called Girl On Girl. The premise of the art book is simple: Jansen collected together photos of women, taken by women. The result ― like Petra Collins’ similarly intended Babe, honoring women artists she admires ― is striking in its breadth.
