Meet American photographer Collier Schorr who has always been her own and, from the very beginning of her career, “believed in pictures. Particularly pictures of women.” In this unique and intimate interview, Collier Schorr takes us through her life and career – from an early childhood room turned into a female utopia until today, where she recognizes herself in the ancient myth of Medusa. “The importance of images today and the idea of there being so many, let’s say, in social media and Instagram, and why make another one and how does your picture exist in this sea of pictures is so interesting because you decide at some point that your pictures are the best. And for me, what that means, is that my pictures are intimate, inclusive, anti-harm, and anti-violent.”

The story of Medusa

What do women's laughs put into play? In a context of predominantly phalocentric social, economic and historic discourses, feminist cinematographic criticism and women-directed cinema have been the political tools to claim another history of the world (and of cinema), from a feminist, liberating, irreverent, funny, disobedient perspective, and, above all, with a lot of space for pleasure.
