Making visible those who have to remain unseen
For the 40th anniversary of the Peine women’s shelter, Lara developed a solo exhibition at Kreismuseum Peine around a difficult question: how do you create visibility for women who cannot safely be shown?
In photographic workshops, the residents developed images of things that gave them hope. These images became both portraits and protection, concealing identity without making the women themselves disappear. Alongside this collaborative work, Lara documented traces of the shelter, creating a portrait of a place and its inhabitants without exposing them.
