Glorija Lizde, a photographer of the younger generation, is already widely recognised by the broader audience for her artistic work, in which she often employs documentary and staged forms of photography alongside archival materials, exploring themes such as ancestry, belonging, heritage, trauma, memories, and more. The exhibition titled Iterations, Rehearsals, Enactments is her first solo show at the Museum of Fine Arts.
The exhibition is the result of research in which the artist engages in an examination of the credibility of the medium of photography (in science), as well as the positions and power dynamics between the photographer and the subject, using the example of patients treated for hysteria in the French Salpêtrière hospital at the end of the 19th century.
