Each box represents the city in which the films were shot, corresponding to London, New York, and Los Angeles. In total, there are 684 new Lee Cohen images across the whole edition. On the necessity of the moving image in her work, the creative shared: “Mannerisms tell so much about a person’s character. For example, the way we place our hands when we have nothing to hold can sometimes reveal more about us than when we open our mouths.”
Lee Cohen continued to explain why she films the set-ups. It serves as documentation of her photography work. “I think they serve as exactly what they are: ‘Moving images.’ And everyone loves those, don’t they? Otherwise, cinema wouldn’t exist. I didn’t film every setup, but now I really wish I had. It was only when I saw the films as a collective that I realized other people might be interested in seeing them too.”
The creative has been photographing the three cities featured in the title over the course of seven years. She explains: “Each has such a distinct feel and sense of humor that separates them from one another. I thought it felt better to divide them rather than lump them together.”
