Salon #69 – Ying Ang and the Ritsch Sisters

Salon

March 25 @ 6:30 pm 8:00 pm EDT

Join us for a 10×10 Salon featuring Ying Ang and the Ritsch Sisters at Penumbra Foundation.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Ying Ang is a social documentary photographer and author. She is on the teaching faculty at the ICP in New York City, the Director of Reflexions 2.0 – a photographic masterclass based in Europe – and on the board of the Centre for Contemporary Photography in Melbourne, Australia.

Ying will present two books: Gold Coast (2014), which is about our perceptions of safety and danger within the architecture of our built environment, and The Quickening (2021), a study of the sudden transformations that affect a woman’s life when becoming a mother.

Anna and Maria Ritsch are sisters who work individually in the fields of photography & art and started the collaboration ‘Ritsch Sisters’ in early 2020. Their focus is in photography and video that explore the tensions between the physical, spatial, and emotional. The duo collaborates internationally, with Maria based in Vienna and Anna in New York City.

Anna and Maria will discuss their most recent photobook Together Apart (2023), which delves into profound questions of identity, societal change, and the human experience as well as their earlier book The Act Of Sitting (2021), a visual exploration of “sitting” as an action and idea.
