Anna Fox in collaboration with Alison Goldfrapp
1996-2001
Country Girls (1996-2001) is a collaboration between Anna Fox and singer/songwriter Alison Goldfrapp. It explores the lives of women growing up in rural southern England and the story of Sweet Fanny Adams, which fascinated them both as young girls.
The photographs in this series have a disturbing sexual tension that recalls two post surrealist antecedents: the viewpoints suggest the voyeurism of Marcel Duchamp's great late installation donnés, and the focus on the high heels, strong colour and flash light recall the production values of the fashion photographer Guy Bourdin, and especially his walking legs series, shot using a manequein and high heeled shoes designed by Charles Jourdan, which was photographed across England on a road trip in 1979.
