Performativity: Collier Schorr, Anna Gaskell, Sarah Jones

This article discusses the work of Collier Schorr, Anna Gaskell and Sarah Jones, in particular their use of the youthful body and their focus on portraiture, through a revised interpretation of Judith Butler’s concept of performativity. Catherine Grant argues: 'By looking at the work of these three photographers I want to argue that their portraits create uneasy viewing through the use of a more weighted concept of performativity where “difference” counts'.
