Collier, Anne | Double exposure, 2011 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Double Exposure by Anne Collier, created in 2011, is a compelling C-print that captures a layered, introspective moment. In this photograph, a close-up of a person’s eye peers through a Nikon camera, with an additional superimposed layer that creates a surreal, double-image effect. The composition evokes themes of perception, observation, and the act of looking, playing with the viewer’s sense of clarity and distortion. Known for her conceptual approach to photography, Collier often explores the nature of images and the role of the photographer, creating works that invite viewers to question their own perspectives. This limited edition print, part of a series of 100, is a thought-provoking piece that merges self-reflection with the mechanics of photography.

C-Print

C-PrintA C-type print, also known as a chromogenic print, is a photographic print made from a color negative or slide. The print is created on chromogenic paper, which contains three emulsion layers, each sensitized to a different primary color. After exposure, the paper is processed in a series of chemical baths, where each layer reacts to the chemicals to produce the final image. C-type prints are known for their rich color depth and are widely used in fine art and commercial photography.

There are so many amazing layers of weirdness.
- Anne Collier

Born in the United States in 1970, Anne Collier is one of the pioneer female photographers of her generation. Formally trained at UCLA and CalArt, Collier began her art career in 2001. She describes her style as still life, but it is her subject matter that makes her photography stand out from others. Influenced by several artists of the 1970's and 1980's, known as the Pictures Generation, Anne Collier focuses on pop art and social inequality. Her feminist approach is clearly evident in her artwork. Her subjects are pop art pieces such as old album covers, movie posters, magazine covers, as well as existing photographs. Set on a monochromatic background, the pieces tell a story within a story. Most of Collier's artwork portrays the sexual degradation of women through the eyes of men who gawk and leer. Collier's most recent artwork focuses on photography about the art of photography. Several of her more popular pieces are photographs of her photographing objects. In many of the prints she has cropped the image to focus on just her eye in the viewfinder. Other examples of her artwork feature old postcards where women are being inappropriately portrayed. Anne Collier's work has been displayed in major art galleries in the United States and Europe. She continues to create her unique pieces from her studio in New York City.
