Reading List - Justine Kurland

-Fine art photographer based in New York.
-She went to Yale University where she studied along side Gregory Crewsdon and Philip-Lorca diCorcia.



The first thing I thought from her images were how eery they are, they're almost disturbing to look at because in many, the subjects are lying down, looking lifeless. It's the fact that some of the models in these images look dead when in reality I think they're not but this is the look Kurland wanted to capture. I particularly like the second image I've chosen to show in my blog because it captures a sense of personality and boredom, the child looks bored with the world yet interested in him toy train. I like the mystery and strangeness to these images but I don't enjoy the disturbed feeling from looking at people that are deeming lifeless.
