  • The headgear of the traditional Fanø costume – ”strude” – is the starting point for this series, which Trine Søndergaard’s has worked with over a long period of time. The ”strude” used to protect women from the harsh North Sea conditions. In the series, the artist examines the portrait as a genre by using the headgear. The costume marks the different stages of life, e.g. confirmation, wedding and widowhood, and creates a duality in the portraits between what is said and what is left unsaid; the visible and the invisible.
