Birgit Jürgenssen: I am.

I am. presents a focused exploration of the work of Birgit Jürgenssen, foregrounding questions of identity, self-representation, and the construction of the female body.

The publication brings together photographs, drawings, and conceptual works that examine the tension between social roles and personal agency.

Jürgenssen’s practice is marked by irony, precision, and a subtle form of resistance. Through performative self-images and symbolic transformations, she exposes the mechanisms of projection, desire, and control embedded in everyday objects, fashion, and domestic space. The statement “I am” functions not as a declaration of fixed identity, but as an open, shifting position—one that challenges normative definitions of femininity and authorship.

The book reads as an articulation of artistic selfhood that is both analytical and poetic. It situates Jürgenssen’s work within a broader feminist and conceptual discourse while emphasizing its enduring relevance through clarity of form, intellectual rigor, and quiet subversion.
