Folded Up

Jennifer Johnson

1995 · Platinum print · Photographs

The palpable sense of intimacy present in Johnson’s Folded Up stems not only from the camera’s extreme proximity to its subject and the artist’s choice of the platinum process, with its warm tones and matte surface suggestive of skin, but also from a woman’s perspective on the youthful female body.
