collier schorr

So there were a couple of things that she said in her video that i found to be quite interesting. The first was during the wrestling shooting where she said that this project came from the larger idea of photography a body of work that looked the same without actually being the same. The pictures provided the same expressions and same body language without being the same people constantly. I also could really appreciate her idea that she stated in the end about her wanting her work to unveil desire and repression and removing the myth and making it into something human which I think is harder than people imagine. This is kind of a hit or miss idea where most mainstream ideas about it, mostly advertisements and such, really miss it. Showing such a thing as desire is easy, its the humanizing of it that is missed most of the time. It just makes you think about how your work speaks. Is it really saying what you are? Interesting.
