Justine Kurland’s The Early Work (Excerpt) is formed entirely of images cut and rearranged from the Henri Cartier-Bresson catalogue of the same name. Kurland describes her efforts as “the destruction of my personal library of canonized white male photographers—men I was taught to revere, whose conventions I was meant to uphold; men who have taken up too much room psychically and physically.” Furthermore, Kurland states that “the violence operates as satire but is aimed at a very real set of problems: the lack of value assigned to women’s work, art, and lives.”
