In the ongoing series, me myself and i, Postma remakes found vintage photographs into assemblages of new faces, creating portraits of people whose identities are not bound by stereotypes of gender, age or colour.
By re-photographing the collaged portraits, they are restored to their original form, banishing the stigmas associated with the original images.
Bonnita Postma is an Amsterdam-based artist exploring identity, gender, femininity and intimacy.
In recent years, Postma has exhibited throughout Europe and was shortlisted for the Rabo Photographic Portrait Prize 2022 and the Selection Of ’23 Dutch Photography Awards.
