Anne Collier — Smoking (Portfolio), II
Anne Collier

Smoking (Portfolio), II

Anne Collier's "Smoking (Portfolio), II" consists of six chromogenic prints that examine the representation of smoking through appropriated imagery, likely sourced from vintage advertising or popular culture. The work engages with themes of desire, addiction, and the visual construction of lifestyle through Collier's characteristic practice of re-photographing and recontextualizing existing images. By isolating and enlarging these moments, the artist interrogates how smoking has been aestheticized and commodified within visual culture.
