Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

Maxwell Anderson runs Bemojake Books. They specialise in gorgeously printed and produced artist books, and you can usually find them at most photography book fairs such as FORMAT, LA Art Book Fair, and Offprint in Paris. Their current title, Vanity, is by New York photographer Coco Young. A former fashion model, she has had to deal with temperamental ideals of beauty, and this self-portrait exposes her body, warts ’n all, through a channel of her own perspective. What I like about it is the freedom in the image making - photocopies, screen-grabs, c-type prints - it’s a really expressive style that feels uninhibited, and fun, and everything you should be when you’re young. No pun intended.
