8½ Women.

edition of 50 copies

This expanded, annotated, and remodelled version of Collier Schorr's 8 Women, originally published by Mack in the same year, was issued by Karma to accompany an exhibition (29 April - 4 May 2014) which featured individual pages from their publication together with original prints and work from other series.

For this series, Schorr draws from her own work spanning the mid-nineties to the point of publication. Some of her earliest work appropriated advertising images from fashion magazines to explore issues of authorship and desire, bringing a distinctly female gaze to discussions of women's representation. Here, she appropriates her own commissioned work and sets it in dialogue with her other images. "Working between out-takes and manipulations of tear sheets, Schorr questions who the women that desire to be looked at are, as well as what power exists in acknowledging that as a post-feminist position."
