Upcoming Exhibition - Her | Self : Women In Their Own Words

Photographs by Jennifer Bermon

February 7 - April 4, 2015
Artist Reception: February 7, 2015 from 6-8pm
dnj is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition of "Her | Self: Women In Their Own Words." Photographs by Jennifer Bermon, writing by women.
Jennifer Bermon presents photographs of women, and the writings of these women describing, in their own words, how they feel about the way they look in the pictures. In the United States, we grow up feeling as if our bodies are manifestations of our inner selves, and perhaps because of the power of such beliefs we offer these sometime negative comments about ourselves. For example, when Bermon was a student at Mills College, she listened to the comments some of her friends made about themselves, "these were intelligent, strong, beautiful women ... yet they still felt the need to be thin and attractive in order to be accepted." Bermon has taken photographs of a diverse group of women who have a wide range of things to say, many of which are positive and hopeful. Bermon does not make her own assumptions; she instead wishes to listen to the women as they describe themselves, in their own voice. The exhibit includes a history-making NYC firefighter, a woman who has sailed around the world twice, a NASA scientist, an actress, a judge, a farmer, a 74-year-old Rabbi, a Southern reverend, an Academy Award-winning screenplay writer and an Emmy Award-winning producer.
Bermon attended Mills College, and studied photography with Catherine Wagner as part of her self-designed major of photography, art and writing. She has been working as a professional photographer since age 18, when her first portrait was published. She was a photo researcher/editor for The San Francisco Bay Shoreline Guide, a unique guide to the shoreline's cultural, historical, wildlife, plant life, published by the Coastal Conservancy and UC Press. She has spent the majority of her career working as a producer in network television, specializing in documentaries, national network news and newsmagazine programs. Her work has appeared on NBC, ABC, ITV, MSNBC, CNBC, Discovery Channel, Investigation Discovery, TLC, Weather Channel, E! Entertainment-TV, BayTV/KRON-TV, WNYC-TV, NPR, and KPFA/Pacifica Radio.

FotoFilmic was founded in 2012 as a global film-photography publication and curation platform dedicated to emerging and unknown photo talents attached to film worldwide. In the global context of digital technology FotoFilmic reflects an ongoing transformative understanding of Film Photography as a distinct fine art medium and practice within contemporary photography. While most film shooters are presently found in academic art departments pursing advanced degrees, FotoFilmic’s core intention is to open wide the publication doors of contemporary film photography to all talented amateurs without restriction of ages or location that demonstrate high quality of execution and creative envisioning.
dnj Gallery will be hosting FotoFilmic’14, the second annual and global film photography competition. In January, 2015, this traveling exhibition will come from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, California. We will be having a talk/presentation, at the beginning of the opening reception, at 6pm.
