Preus Museum is celebrating the Queer Cultural Year with the exhibition Over the Rainbow. The exhibition is based on private photographs in the museum\u2019s collection originally belonging to the women\u2019s rights activists and photographers Marie H\u00f8eg<\/a> (1866\u20141949) and Bolette Berg<\/a> (1872\u20141944). Preus Museum finds itself in a unique position because photography has had, and still has an entirely central place in staging, documenting and experimenting with the concept of identity. The exhibition juxtaposes historical and contemporary works across generations and show a range of genres from documentary photography to portraits and video works.<\/p>\n

Marie H\u00f8eg and Bolette Berg<\/h2>\n

The private photographs of Marie, Bolette, and their friends were not meant for public viewing at the time they were taken and seem more playful than controversial to audiences of today. This says a good deal about how the boundaries of what is regarded as acceptable or conventional change according to the place, time, and space.<\/p>\n

Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life and a secret life<\/h2>\n

The exhibition examines such topics as how photography is used to explore gender identity, stereotypes, and the body as subject and object.<\/p>\n
