About the Item
Barrel Racing, Archival film photograph with frame, 2019
Raised in the American West, this region has resonated in mythical proportions within Antonia Stoyanovich’s own narrative and imagination. Through her personal relationship to girlhood and “the West,” Stoyanovich’s images explore motifs and relationships responding to the mythology surrounding contemporary values of Americana and individualism.
A stark contrast to a classically hyper-masculine view of the American West, her work utilizes fragile moments and performance of gender to place themselves in the history of photography as well as romanization of gesture. A collection of figments, the work speaks not to prove myths. But rather to consider the continuous echo of the American West’s mythology found in various intimate moments.
Her photography series is profiled in Vogue Italia, as writer Di Chiara Bardelli Nonino writes, “Antonia Stoyanovich “Myths + Figments” is a layered, twisted and incredibly fascinating portrayal of the American West, probably one of the most represented places in the history of photography. With fresh eyes and a striking vision she manages to breath new air into an ancient myth.”

- IdeaBy Reka NyariLocated in New York, NY“Ink Stories”, which was introduced at Nyari’s very first solo gallery exhibit, consists of large-scale nude photographs that explore the concept of self-identity and female empowerment. The series joins six women together, each who have faced adversity, to demonstrate the creation of a strengthened self-image through tattoos. By highlighting the intricate woven threads of ink on each woman’s skin, Nyari proposes the idea that self-empowerment and reconciliation with one’s traumas can be linked to the act of greeting one’s “own skin” or inventing their own story. Nyari has now elevated these intimate photographs in her new Punctured Ink series through the process of puncturing botanical-like references into the surface of each image (thus making each one of a kind). Her inspiration to physically puncture the previously pristine photographic prints stemmed from a childhood memory that occurred while she was living in Finland: “I remembered my parents had this big pad of paper next to the home phone...Category
