Clare Rae的《永远不要用两只脚站立》为配合在墨尔本当代摄影中心举办的大型展览 "我们之间"(Entre Nous. Claude Cahun and Clare Rae)而出版，它既是对**的前卫同性恋艺术家和作家Claude Cahun的颂歌，也是对这位墨尔本艺术家自己的表演性摄影实践的有力拓展。这组作品将Rae特殊的自画像模式放在狂风劲吹的泽西岛风景中。在这个过程中，它们将她的实践置于与卡恩的直接对话中。卡恩是一位与20世纪20年代巴黎超现实主义运动有关的艺术家，20世纪30年代，她与自己的同性伴侣马塞尔•摩尔一起搬到了泽西岛。在那里，她创造了大量性别模糊的肖像画，并在后来因此名声大噪。

Published to coincide with the major exhibition Entre Nous: Claude Cahun and Clare Rae at Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, Clare Rae's Never standing on two feet serves as both an ode to the legendary avant-garde queer artist and writer Claude Cahun and a telling expansion of the Melbourne artist's own performative photographic practice. The body of work – which was made during a 2017 residency with Archisle: the Jersey Contemporary Photography Programme to research the Cahun archive held by Jersey Heritage – repositions Rae's particular mode of self-

portraiture to fall in the windswept Jersey landscape. In the process, it places her practice in direct conversation with that of Cahun, an artist who was associated with the Parisian surrealist movement in the 1920s, before relocating to Jersey with her female partner Marcel Moore in the 1930s, where she would create the vast archive gender-ambiguous portraits for which she later garnered such acclaim.
