Sophie Schwartz

Sophie Schwartz is the child of a photographer and psychologist from Cleveland, Ohio. They use collaboration as an entry point to explore grief, memory, and queer connection. Their work reveals the potential of the photograph to render the tension between the performance and the authentic, the past and the present, and the photographer and the model. They display the behind the scenes and process of the photograph, and its working documents: the contact sheet, test print, and archive.
