The Bathers: Photographs by Jennette Williams

The Bathers: Photographs by Jennette Williams at Duke University. "...Jennette Williams’s stunning platinum prints of women bathers in Budapest and Istanbul take us inside spaces intimate and public, austere and sensuous, filled with water, steam, tile, stone, ethereal sunlight, and earthly flesh. Over a period of eight years, Williams, who is based in New York City, traveled to Hungary and Turkey to photograph, without sentimentality or objectification, women daring enough to stand naked before her camera. Young and old, the women of The Bathers unapologetically inhabit and display their bodies with comfort and ease—floating, showering, conversing, lost in reverie."
