Justine Kurland’s Utopian Photography

Role: Director/ producer

Step inside the bold, tender world of photographer and artist Justine Kurland. In this intimate short documentary, Kurland, known for her iconic “Girl Pictures" series that plays on the American tale of the teenage runaway, opens up about her creative journey. From her unconventional childhood to traveling cross-country with her young son, she shares the experiences that shaped her radical vision of female freedom and resistance. Kurland discusses her recent work collaging canonical photography books, an act of both destruction and utopian thinking connected to her ongoing reimagining of the world we live in.
