Short Stories By Anja Niemi

15 February 2019 in Books Comment

In her latest series, ‘Short Stories’, Anja Niemi created seven short stories containing fictional characters, objects, landscapes and interiors – all in some way connected to each other. Each story starts off in the same way, all inspired by pre-owned objects. Rhinestone lashes, a police booking sheet with fingerprints, a Russian gun holster and six 1940s dolls with loose limbs, all led to a character and a chapter in her collection of tragicomic tales. As with previous series, Anja continues her work in the same way as before, photographing, staging and acting out the characters on her own.

‘Short Stories’ will be premiered at Photo London and Offprint and is published to coincide with her exhibition at The Little Black Gallery which runs from May 26, 2016 to June 16, 2016. The book is an edition of 100 and is available exclusively from The Little Black Gallery, London. Supported by the Norwegian Embassy.

She Could Have Been A Cowboy by Anja Niemi

She Could Have Been A Cowboy
By Anja Niemi

In her latest series, She Could Have Been A Cowboy, Anja Niemi continues her investigations of the self. This time she turns the lens to a life lived under the constraints of conformity. Every day her fictional character finds herself trapped in the same pink dress, but what she really wants is to be a cowboy, dressed in fringe and leather, riding horses in the Wild West. Through this series of photographs with multiple layers and possible interpretations, Niemi delivers her most political work to date.

“The story is not really about being a cowboy. It’s about wanting to be another.” Anja Niemi

Niemi continues to work alone, photographing, staging and acting out the characters in all of her images.

The book is an edition of 200 and contains a fold-out map and poster as well as a poem by Lena Niemi, sister of Anja.
