THE COLLECTORS

Cooper & Gorfer comprises the artists Sarah Cooper from the US and Nina Gorfer from Austria. They are storytellers of the highest level, masters of color and work by heart. The artist duo investigate different cultures and myths with great curiosity. Based on the stories and lives of the women they meet and collaborate with, Sarah and Nina s explore issues of memory, migration, dislocation, and the malleability of identity. The artist duo are known for their distinctive hybrid portraits. Their photo-based collages are anchored in anthropological research of people and place. Sarah and Nina reimagine the tradition of portraiture by visually examining and deconstructing the narrative of those they portray. Like art history’s Mannerists and Surrealists, Cooper & Gorfer strain observable reality through a filter of memories, moods and wounds.
