Anne Collier (*1970 Los Angeles) lives and works in New York. In her artistic work she engages with found photographs, reworking them to arrive at a reflected history of the medium. She is especially interested in images with a highly emotional visual language: eyes, clouds, waves, as well as pictures of blunt and romanticised sexism. By re-photographing posters, record covers, photo magazines, book pages and film stills, she questions the meaning of images that shape our everyday life and illustrate longings. Making image-making itself her subject, she creates distance from the motif, filters emotions and provides an occasion to reflect on what is depicted.
