Cooper & Gorfer: Between These Folded Walls, Utopia

In a series of richly imagined portraits, the artist duo Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer explore the idea of Utopia in the age of a new diaspora, where young women whose lives have been influenced by forced migration, are photographed like goddesses inside lustrous sets. These vivid portraits are a judicious and of-the-moment examination of our historical memory and possibility. Cooper & Gorfer intertwine photographic portraiture with beautifully executed collage techniques and hand-drawn textures, blending photography and painting in their series, Between These Folded Walls, Utopia. This book lets us delve into a colourful utopian theater, celebrating female power, and inviting us to partake in the
emotional dance of hardship, hope and transformation.
