Glitter Bomb

Sarah Anne Johnson

2012 · Chromogenic print with glitter and acrylic paint · Photographs

Johnson works primarily with photography but also employs a variety of other media—sculpted figurines, dioramas, paint, ink, and bursts of glitter—to amplify the emotional power of her images. Glitter Bomb belongs to a series exploring the bacchanalian culture of summer music festivals. At once ominous and ecstatic, the image evokes the blissed-out mind-set of young revelers taking part in a modern-day rite of passage.
