Terra Cognita
Julia Fullerton-Batten
Teenage Stories (2006)
For teenage girls the years of adolescence are a complex and sensitive period in which they learn to see themselves in the context of society and wrestle with their identity. It is a time of psychological and physical change. Julia Fullerton-Batten photographed teenage girls in a landscape setting that was strange to them, and asked them to pose. The result is a measure of the discomfort that is inseparably linked with this phase of life.
