    "In Character"
    from Monday, January 1, 0001 to Monday, January 1, 0001
    Galerie XII Los Angeles

    Galerie XII LA is delighted to announce the first exhibition of Anja Niemi's works on the West Coast,

    Niemi’s work has emerged as a distinctive force within the venerable tradition of conceptual self-portraiture. She works alone and always in character. With her purposeful and elaborate stagings, Niemi is photographer, director and female lead, inserting herself into the lives of her fictional characters. Extending the genre of self-portraiture, Niemi is at heart a story-teller, a creator of fictions. Her images offer a multilayered, cinematic exploration of identity, gender roles and, crucially, our relationship with ourselves.
