Curator: Anna Tellgren

Although there is, in some cases, a difference of up to fifty years between the works in the two exhibitions, the artists are united in their work with fashion and portrait photography. Both have developed an expression where mainly female subjects appear in images characterised by melancholy and timelessness.
Ikram Abdulkadir belongs to a younger generation that uses lens-based methods and moves freely between several digital platforms, between still and moving images, between exhibition formats and different types of publications. In upper secondary school, she began publishing her photos on the account “ikramianism”, which quickly led to interested followers and several commissions in fashion and portrait photography. Her motifs often revolved – and still do – around familiar places, frequently in her hometown of Malmö, and people close to her. Abdulkadir is represented in the Moderna Museet Collection.
