Photographer, Jill Greenberg is having her fifth solo show at the ClampArt Gallery in NY starting on June 16th. The Glass Ceiling Exhibition "revisits her interest in feminist art." The project features a series of pictures of female dancers and athletes in bathing suits and heels under water and was inspired by an actual commissioned job that she did back in 2008 for the US Olympic Synchronized Swim Team. On her website she describes the shoot:
They wear high heels to be ‘sexy’ in this performance, yet this is absurd, it hinders their movement and amplifies their lack of control. They adjust their swimsuits, shoes; gasp for air, and are pushed by the relentless force of the water, a metaphor for their world.
