This large-format monograph delves into the influential work of Lynne Cohen, coinciding with her exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Featuring previously unpublished photographs from her transition to large-format photography in the 1970s, the book showcases spaces devoid of human presence, influenced by Minimalism, Pop Art, and Conceptual Art. Cohen's thematic arrangement of images captures the eerie and surreal atmospheres of ordinary interiors and aseptic spaces, highlighting social control in these settings. Essays by Jean-Pierre Criqui, Andrew Lugg, Florian Ebner, and Matthias Pfaller, and insights from artists Ricarda Roggan and Marina Gadonneix, complement this critical exploration of Cohen’s impact on contemporary photography.
