Details: 
TWISTED SISTERS is co-curated by SFAC Galleries Director, Meg Shiffler and Zürich-based independent curator Alexandra Blättler. They asked conceptual photographers from each city to create new and unexpected urban portraits. The resulting 80+ images challenge and occasionally subvert stereotypes associated with these two great metropolises through narratives and landscapes that strip away, twist, or dig under the picture-perfect postcard and expose the nasty histories, private lives, hidden views and constructed alter-realities.

Image: 
An image of a woman, seen from behind, with long brown hair standing at the beach. The figure is facing the ocean. The image is composited with another image of the woman overlaid, and slightly askew so that the image has a blurred effect.
