UNCENCORED by AdeY

AdeY’s identity is unknown, but the photographs speak for themselves. The art is in the borderland of photography and performance and depicts the naked body in playful formations and in minimalistic rooms and empty landscapes.

No one really knows who AdeY is. The Swedish-British artist’s real name, age and place of residence are still unknown. AdeY left a career as a professional dancer, something evident in the photographs which combine photography, choreography, and performance. They have published a series of poetic photobooks and exhibited in several of the world’s best-known museums, including in London and New York. AdeY is behind the exhibit Uncensored at Fotografiska, and the second artist in the Emerging Artists initiative.

“I began taking photographs when I worked as a professional dancer and felt the need to erase what I had done before to be taken seriously. People doubt you when you change art forms. I also do not want people to focus on my background but rather my body of work,” says AdeY.

AdeY is represented by our partner, Little Black Gallery.
