Katerina Jebb’s haunting, uncanny photographs are created not with a camera but with digital scanners and photocopy machines. Often stitched together and presented life-size, the results appear less photographic than painterly or sculptural. The work captures the viewer’s attention and holds it.
Jebb’s work is equally at home in the worlds of art and fashion, and can be found both on YouTube and in the permanent collection of the Louvre. In recent years the Paris-based artist has turned her attention to documenting objects, capturing them in a way that not only speaks to the viewer but shares something about their owners. For Display Copy, Jebb has selected iconic, personal, unique or otherwise remarkable items from the archives and collections of fashion’s storied houses, letting each piece tell its own story—to a captive audience.
