Astrid Jahnsen: 200 Grams

Jahnsen resituates found photos from a vintage encyclopedia into a meditation on women unintentionally captured in their truth

In 200 Grams, Astrid Jahnsen (born 1974) reexamines historical visual culture through the lens of gender bias. Drawing on archival imagery, the artist reflects on the systematic absence of women in the narrative of knowledge—revealing both the distortion it creates and the quiet, subversive freedom of those who were never fully represented.
