Artist and Her Model is a significant summary of Elina Brotherus’s first fifteen years of work, examining the dual role of the artist as both creator and subject. The book traces her evolution from early autobiographical series to her “Model Studies,” where she utilizes herself as a familiar icon within landscapes and interiors to explore art-historical and philosophical themes. By juxtaposing images from different eras, Brotherus investigates the passing of time, the aging of the body, and the shifting nature of her own photographic gaze. The publication includes texts by Susan Bright and Timo Kelaranta, with French and Finnish translations provided in a separate accompanying booklet.
