Studio Floor #1 (Marylin)

2009

A large-format chromogenic print by Anne Collier depicts a studio floor scattered with photographic images of Marilyn Monroe, turning the act of archiving and collecting into a subject of contemplative scrutiny. The work engages with the reproduction and circulation of iconic female imagery, examining how cultural myths are constructed and perpetuated through mass media. Collier's cool, detached photographic approach invites viewers to reflect on the layers of mediation between the original subject and her endlessly replicated image.
