Anne Collier

Woman With A Camera (Cheryl Tiegs/Olympus 2)

2008

Anne Collier's large-scale chromogenic print depicts a found image of supermodel Cheryl Tiegs posed with an Olympus camera, likely sourced from a vintage advertisement or magazine spread. Collier's signature practice of rephotographing mass-media imagery draws attention to the constructed nature of femininity, beauty, and the male gaze, while simultaneously interrogating the role of the camera as both a tool of empowerment and objectification. The work invites viewers to consider the layered relationship between women, image-making, and consumer culture.
