and The Modern Institute/Toby Webster Ltd., Glasgow | | | | | | | The innocent image is an illusion – this is especially true for the omnipresent medium of photography. And it is this that constitutes the artistic starting point for Anne Collier. Born in Los Angeles in 1970 and currently living in New York, her conceptual works are based primarily on found materials from the pop culture of the 1970s and 1980s; on photos gleaned from magazines, advertising, record covers, book illustrations and film stills. By photographing the print materials with a large-format camera and then producing classical paper prints from them, digitising the paper prints and processing them for another round of printing, Collier arrives at a considered archaeology of photographic usages. She is interested, above all, in images with an emotive visual undertone, such as waves, eyes, clouds and romanticised sexism. With analytical elegance, the artist reflects the deceptive imagery that shapes our everyday lives and, in so doing, creates a tension between what is depicted and how it is depicted. | | | | | | | | | Anne Collier: from the series "Women With Cameras" (Anonymous), 2016
