Eye (Enlargement of Color Negative)

Anne Collier's *Eye (Enlargement of Color Negative)* presents a close-up photographic image rendered in the inverted hues characteristic of a color negative, transforming the familiar human eye into something simultaneously intimate and estranged. The chromogenic print, flush-mounted for a sleek, object-like presence, draws attention to the materiality of photography itself, questioning how images are constructed, reproduced, and consumed. Collier's work situates the eye — both the subject of the image and the means by which we view it — as a site of tension between looking and being looked at.
