Invisible Women & Sisters in Arms
Enrique Muñoz García

With Invisible Women, Enrique Muñoz García investigates how photography has, since its beginnings, rendered women both visible and invisible. Bringing together images from various periods and contexts—from Victorian Hidden Mothers to contemporary cutouts, shadows, and erasures—the project highlights the many strategies used to obscure the female body. Rather than following a chronological narrative, it forms a constellation of recurring visual situations where the female figure remains essential yet partially withdrawn from view. Invisible Women functions as a counter-archive, questioning regimes of visibility and the implicit power of the photographic gaze.

Sisters in Arms brings together more than 200 photographs from the 1940s and 1950s documenting the participation of Soviet women in the Red Army. The result of extensive research, this collection examines the ambivalent role assigned to women in times of conflict. The portraits show women engaged in a variety of roles, from direct combat to support functions. Presented today, this archive requires a contextualized reading. Anchored in the context of the fight against Nazism, these images invite us to reflect on the place of women in wartime and the contemporary uses of memory.
