Some of these images are thousands of years old. Some are from last season.

The Two Women Atlas is an experiment. It is a collection I have been building for years—two women together across painting, sculpture, photography, film, fashion, and music—and a place to think about it out loud.

Sisters, friends, lovers, mother and daughter: the image rarely decides, and art history has rarely asked.

Expect close readings, images left to speak for themselves, conversations with artists and researchers, and upcoming collaborative workshops.

Welcome to the Atlas.

A motif can be everywhere and still go unnamed for centuries. Swipe for how I (Tatuli Japoshvili, @moreinvisible) define it, and why it matters.

What happens when we stop looking at a woman alone, and start looking at two women together?

Welcome to the Two Women Atlas.

Art history has much to say about the woman on her own—the muse, the nude, the object of the gaze, and about three women—the Graces. About two women, it says surprisingly little. Yet across centuries of painting, photography, fashion, and film, the motif returns with compulsive persistence: two women side by side, intertwined, mirroring, whispering, or simply co-existing. Sisters? Friends? Lovers? Mother and daughter? The image rarely tells us.

I read this recurrence as a symptom: a gesture that keeps coming back because what it holds has not yet found words. It hides in plain sight.

For the past twelve years, I have been collecting these images to understand what they tell us about being two: a self that is shaped in-between subjects, not in isolation.

Following Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas, the images collate on black, without titles or hierarchy, so the patterns between them can surface.

The Atlas will unfold slowly: close readings, found images, the motif’s echoes in other cultural artefacts, and conversations with guests. If there is an image of two women you keep returning to, whether discovered, inherited from a family album, or made by you, send it to me.
