The Pink Ladies, 2021 by Lily Bertrand-Webb

The Pink Ladies, Sicily, 2021

The year after lockdown, I travelled to Sicily for a friend’s wedding. I patrolled the village with my camera, despite the heavy summer showers. As the rain stopped, I noticed the crowd suddenly went quiet to watch a bride and groom couple leaving the church. In the midst of grey gloom, the sun came out and shone on the two ladies in pink.

Lily Bertrand-Webb presents her photographic series, “The Flâneuse.”

“For a woman to be a flâneuse, first and foremost, she’s got to be a walker – someone who gets to know the city by wandering its streets, investigating its dark corners, peering behind façades, penetrating into secret courtyards. Virginia Woolf called it ‘street haunting’ in an essay by that name: sailing out into a winter evening, surrounded by the ‘champagne brightness of the air and the sociability of the streets’, we leave the things that define us at home, and become ‘part of that vast republican army of anonymous trampers’.” by Lauren Elkin

Opening on the 20th of August 2024, the works will be exhibited at Sister by Studio Ashby’s London showroom, The Blewcoat School, as part of a new exhibition series.
