About

About

New Age of Dissent is a photographic series by Carina Linge portraying contemporary women artists through symbolic, psychogram-like tableaux.

In staged compositions combining body imagery, still lifes, objects, and subtle gestures, the portraits reveal emotional states and personal narratives rather than conventional likenesses. The figures appear within carefully constructed scenes that suggest inner tensions, doubts, and moments of resistance.

The title references Laurie Penny’s 2011 book Notes from the New Age of Dissent. Describing herself as a “feminist futurist,” Penny writes passionately and critically about the fears and frustrations shaping a younger generation.

Linge’s portraits resonate with these themes. While translating the protagonists’ emotional worlds into symbolic visual language, the series also reflects broader social issues such as sexual identity, exclusion, structural inequality, and critiques of contemporary capitalism.
