VALUES
EMPOWERMENT As a feminist collective, empowerment is our core value. We work in a non-hierarchical and self-determined way and aim to reflect the social structures that shape us. In our projects, we address political issues, using photography not only as a tool of self-expression, but also as an instrument to contribute to social change.
PARTICIPATION Given the power structures that come with holding a camera in our hands, we attach great importance to meeting people at eye level and working in an anti-discriminatory and participatory way that prioritizes people before profit.
NO ABSOLUTE TRUTHIn the realm of documentary photography, we believe that the notion of absolute truth is an elusive concept. As photographers, we recognize that our own point of view inevitably shapes the narrative and interpretation of the subjects we explore. We see this recognition not as a limitation but rather a fundamental aspect of working in a documentary manner.
ERROR CULTUREThough profound research and working precisely is the fundament of our work, mistakes can happen. We seek to embrace them as part of the process rather than claiming we’re free of them.
FLUIDITYJust as water - the name-giving element for our collective - is in constant motion, we acknowledge change and transformation in our work, while seeking to engage with our ever shifting environment
