Cornelia Hediger is a photographer that was awarded a Master of Fine Arts from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Her work has been widely exhibited all over the United States. In her Doppelganger II series, her female subjects are elongated, fragmented or distorted, and the rooms that these figures inhabit have a dream-like, almost fairytale quality to them. There is an overall mood of emotional provocation, tinged by fragility and doubt, which is counterbalanced by the formal rigor and control of the artist.
In her own words, Cornelia Hediger chose the Doppelganger series to delve into the idea of an alter ego, the conscious mind vs. the unconscious mind, inner conflicts, the duality between good and bad and split personalities. I really enjoy the distortion of these females and how important it is for young women to see what society wants from them. I think what Cornelia Hediger is doing a really great thing.
